The US and Libya have agreed to work together to resolve compensation claims from the Lockerbie bombing and other 1980s attacks blamed on Libyan agents.
Libya has already paid out $8m (£4m) to each Lockerbie victim's family but has not made final payments of $2m amid a dispute over America's obligations.
A US court ruling that Libya should pay billions of dollars to Americans killed by another bomb incensed the Libyans.
They are hoping for an all-in-one deal to cover that and the other attacks.
They are also said to be wary of a new US law allowing victims of terrorism to seize US-held assets of states held responsible.
