#1 Mr Alagi said: "I'd like to confirm that we are accepting any facts that might arise in this regard, if there is any suspicion about any other person. We will co-operate in this regard with whoever has any other facts, according to international treaties."

TRANSLATION: "We suspect Mr. al Megrahi and his family know where there's some bucks, weapons, or other boodle that may be of interest to us, and they ain't cooperating. Would be a real shame if we had to turn him over to the folks he managed to escape once before, because you know he ain't getting loose a second time..."
