Victims seek to sue Libya for supplying IRA with Semtex

Lawyers revealed that 13 summons will be issued at the High Court in Belfast in a bid to establish the plastic explosive's presence in bombings which feature in the claims.

Compensation claims are being prepared on behalf of those bereaved and injured in several Troubles-related atrocities. The IRA received secret shipments of weapons from Libya during Muammar Gaddafi's time as dictator - including Semtex for bomb attacks. Belfast legal firm KRW Law is mounting the initiative on behalf of a number of victims, including Seamus Sullivan.

There is no Libya anymore. The UK helped destroy it in 2011.

With unionists, it is always about the money!

They should have sued Libya before they helped the USA to free them!!!

Good luck. Think Libya is closed. No management either.

Grand while were at it i hope the entire world sues britain then. 🤔

It will be interesting to see how the change in government will be seen by the international courts.

that will be a bit difficult considering libya is a now broken war torn slave state thanks to the corporate neo liberal warmongers

Libya , regime wise is not an entity anymore , however the UK still exists, and they seem to have drawn a line and moved on, in their minds anyway.

Not really a good time to be bringing up the past.

How about suing Sinn Fein...they are the last link to PIRA....

Do that mean I can sue the car dealership for supplying the person who crashed into me? 😅

Can victims also sue the British government for its own supplying of state sponsored terrorist campaigns?

Jeez good luck with that one!! Better suing Sinn Fein!!

Hahahaaaa. Who are they going to sue? There is no Libya.

Nobody left in Lybia to be held accountable.

How do you sue a dead dictator and former regime that no longer exists ? Will they be suing Israel for supplying loyalist terrorists with their weapons ?

Does that include Civillian victims of Loyalist Bombs?

Anyone suing the British government?
