Justice at last for WPC Yvonne Fletcher?

Could WPC Yvonne Fletcher's killer finally be about to be brought to justice. For all the shmoozing of Colonel Gaddafi and others in the Libyan regime by Tony Blair, Peter Mandelson and others, the person or persons who shot WPC Yvonne Fletcher outside the Libyan embassy in London on 17 April 1984  was never extradited back to London to face justice. So it was with some surprise that I read in The Guardian that:
'The man suspected of murdering PC Yvonne Fletcher outside the Libyan embassy in London in 1984 has been arrested by rebel forces in the country and is in custody in the rebel stronghold of Benghazi.

Campaigners welcomed the arrest and expressed the hope that Omar Ahmed Sodani would face trial in Britain.'
About bloody time too, almost 27 years after the shooting. I hope that Tony Blair & Peter Mandelson feel suitably ashamed that they did next to nothing to help the Fletcher family in this matter, preferring to bring Gaddafi's Libya in from the cold and enable deals to be done.

I hope that when Tripoli finally falls,  the records of deals done by the Gaddafi regime with British politicians, and others, are made public. I suspect that there may well be some very interesting information in those files, maybe enough for prosecutions of certain people formerly in high positions in the UK and EU governments but certainly enough to have them shown for what they really are.
