The US and Libya have agreed to try to resolve compensation claims from the bombing of an airliner over Lockerbie in Scotland in 1988, and other attacks blamed on Libyan agents in the 1980s.
The two governments this week opened negotiations seeking to speed up the resolution of lawsuits that have dragged on for two decades.
Libya has already paid the families of the Lockerbie victims $8m per victim, but has not made the final payment of $2m.
Reports say Libya has also raised the issue of compensation for 41 Libyans it says were killed in US raids on Tripoli and Benghazi in April 1986, 11 days after three Americans were killed in a bombing of a discotheque in Berlin.
