Shankill bomb relatives to sue Gadafy
Relatives of those killed in the Shankill bombing of 1993 and others are planning to sue Col Muammar Gadafy and the Libyan authorities over their support for the IRA, writes Dan Keenan.
The civil action is to be taken through the US courts in what could amount to the largest ever case to be taken in the UK relating to terrorism.
They want compensation for the loss of their family members and for their own physical and mental injuries.
If successful, the claim could run into many millions of pounds, the Observer has reported.
The case will be lodged initially involving a small group of plaintiffs, but it is hoped that many more from Northern Ireland, Britain and further afield will join the so-called class action.
Lawyers for the relatives believe that Libya bears some responsibility for the death or injury to up to 6,000 people through Gadafy's support for the IRA and through shipments of arms and explosives.

3, 7, 8 and 9 lucky twice in Lotto
The numbers 3, 7, 8 and 9 were twice lucky on Saturday when they were drawn in both the jackpot and the Lotto Plus 2 draw.
The National Lottery said it was unusual that the same four numbers out of six were drawn in both draws but this did happen on occasion.
Paula McEvoy, National Lottery spokeswoman said it was nothing more than a coincidence as the three Lotto draws used three different machines with three different sets of balls.
