Well sort of...
The Telegraph reports that:
"Col Muammar Gaddafi, the Libyan leader, has apologised for the first time for the shooting of Wpc Yvonne Fletcher. "
But has he really> Well no, as the article goes on to explain:
"He said she was not an enemy of Libya and was protecting the Libyan Embassy in London when she died, but also insisted that the gunman remained unknown.
In a wide-ranging television interview, speaking in faltering English, he said: "You see, I know that such a thing happened. I know a policewoman was shot and killed when she was doing her duty.
"She is not an enemy to us, and we are sorry all the time and our sympathy, because she was on duty, she was there to protect the Libyan Embassy, but this is the problem that should be solved, but who did it? That is the question." "
As Colonel Gaddafi is still not allowing UK police to investigate who shot WPC Fletcher, I think the apology isn't worth the breath it used up.
