Hi °C | Lo °C Republicans will be asked to back IRA victims' compensation case against Libya during the first session of the Stormont Assembly today.
Successive governments have already raised the issue of Libyan support for the IRA over the past two decades.
DUP Assembly member Jeffrey Donaldson said: “It would significantly strengthen our case if we are able to tell the Libyan government that we enjoy full political support for our campaign.
“This debate should not be viewed as a unionist versus nationalist issue as Libyan-sponsored terrorism made no distinction between Protestant and Catholic or unionist and nationalist.”
