The latest round of talks between German and Libyan officials regarding compensation for the bombing of a disco in Berlin in 1986, ordered by Libya, ended without results. In this bombing, three people were killed and over 200 were injured. Litigation lawyers state that the next round of negotiations between German and Libyan officials will take place next month. The charity foundation of Muammar Gaddafi, the Libyan leader, has agreed to compensate the victims of the Berlin disco bombing, but the two sides still disagree on the amount of money that should be paid to non-American victims. The compensation for American victims will be decided in legal proceedings in the United States. According to a ruling issued in 2001 by a court in Germany, the bombing was orchestrated by the Libyan secret police organization. This court also convicted four individuals for this bombing. The deceased in the bombing included two Americans and one Turkish national.
