In a meeting with relatives of some victims of the Lockerbie incident, Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi has condemned all terrorist attacks.

In 1988, the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, organized by Libyan agent Abdel Basset al-Megrahi, killed 270 people.

Last month, Scotland freed Megrahi on compassionate grounds to the anger of many relatives of the victims. Libya has formally accepted responsibility for the bombing and has paid billions of dollars to families of the victims, Reuters reported.

In an interview with CNN that is to air on Sunday, Qaddafi compared the bombing to a 1986 US military raid against Libya that killed around 40 people, including Qaddafi's daughter.

"Whether it is Lockerbie or whether it is the '86 raid against Libya, we are all families ... terror in all its forms is a common enemy to all of us," he said.

Former US President Ronald Reagan ordered the military action after the bombing of a Berlin nightclub that was blamed on Libya.
