Page "Murder of Yvonne Fletcher" Paragraph 18

During the 2011 Libyan civil war in March 2011, British journalists spoke to a man named Omar al-Sodani being held by rebel forces in Benghazi.

The 59-year-old member of Libya's Revolutionary Committee said he was in the Libyan Embassy in 1984 but " was not at the scene " when the shooting happened.

Following the collapse of the Gaddafi regime in August 2011, new evidence emerged that a diplomat working at the Libyan embassy in London was seen firing an automatic weapon from a window in April 1984.

A witness identified a man called Abdulmagid Salah Ameri after a review of evidence by an independent Canadian prosecutor at the request of the Metropolitan Police.

On 30 August it was reported that a " co-conspirator ", Abdulqadir al-Baghdadi, had been killed in in-fighting amongst Gaddafi loyalists.
