BERLIN, Aug. 10 (Xinhuanet) -- The German government confirmed Tuesday that Germany and Libya have reached a compensation agreement over a 1986 disco bombing in West Berlin.

    Libya's Gaddafi Foundation and lawyers representing some 160 German victims have agreed over a total of 35-million-dollar settlements in Berlin, government spokesman Bla Anda said.

    Libyan ambassador to Germany Said Abdulaati said earlier that Libya would pay 35 million dollars in compensation to German victims.

    In 2001, a Berlin court ruled Libya's secret service was behindthe disc attack which killed two US servicemen and a Berlin woman and injured about 160.

    On June 24, a German court upheld the 12 to 14 years prison sentences for the four people convicted in the bombing, including a former Libyan diplomat.

    In 1986, a bomb ripped through the nightclub in West Berlin, which was popular with American military personnel stationed in the then-divided city.

    The bombing has since been a major blockade for improving relations between Germany and Libya. Enditem
