Under duress, Libya met the formal terms of the agreement ending a 10-year sanctions period that had been very costly to Libya:
1) turn over two suspects for trial in Scotland (actually held in Holland).
2) pay several billion
3) submit a confession.
After the acquital of one suspect and conviction of the other, Gaddafi held a long press conference to make clear his rejection of Libyan guilt for Lockerbie.
