TRIPOLI/LONDON (Reuters) – Britain dismissed suggestions of a link between the Lockerbie bomber’s release and energy deals with Libya Saturday, after Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi embraced the man and thanked Britain.

“The idea that the British government, the Libyan government, would sit down and somehow barter over the freedom or the life of this Libyan prisoner and make it all part of some business deal … it’s not only wrong, it’s completely implausible and actually quite offensive,” British Business Secretary Peter Mandelson said.
