"This accord shows that Libya is changing, has changed," said Guillaume Denoix de Saint-Marc, who lost his father in the attack and who helped lead the negotiations for the compensation. "We're happy to have succeeded... the scar will always remain, but at least it has healed," he said. The $1m-per-victim deal, clinched late on Thursday, is far smaller than the $2.7bn promised to the families of the 270 people killed when Pan Am Flight 103 exploded over Lockerbie in Scotland. But Mr Denoix de Saint-Marc said much of the Lockerbie cash would be taken up by legal fees and taxes and consequently the amount received by families of the UTA victims would not be so different. The $170m is expected to be shared among families of victims of 17 nationalities who were on board the UTA plane when it exploded over the west African state of Niger.

France, which lost 54 citizens on the plane, had campaigned for a more "equitable" settlement for the UTA families after Libya agreed a $2.7bn payout for the 270 people killed in the Lockerbie attack. "The Slow and painful changes entire relationship between France and Libya is thus going to be enjoying a fresh impetus. A new phase is opening up," Mr De Villepin said.
The leading regional daily Ouest-France comes to a similar conclusion."This agreement," it says, "bears witness to the changed attitude" of a Libyan leader "trying to acquire a new image". "His oil reserves," it points out, "are largely unexploited, and bringing in too little in the way of revenue. Foreign investment would be needed to treble the current daily output of 1.5 million barrels
