The New York Times correspondent, David Kirkpatrick is in Tripoli where government officials have continued to maintain that Col. Gadhafi and his family will stay in the country to the end. This comes as Libya’s foreign minister, Moussa Koussa defected to the U.K. He was known as the “envoy of death,” says David Kirkpatrick as he was accused of killing Libyan defectors abroad. He has also been charged with being responsible for the Lockerbie bombing. Susan Cohen is the mother of Theodora Cohen who was aboard Pan Am’s flight 103. She also co-authored “Pan Am 103: The Bombing, the Betrayals, and a Bereaved Family’s Search for Justice.” She responds to the news that Moussa Koussa has left Libya. Cohen says that he should share information on the bombing and that Moussa Koussa should testify against Gadhafi if it comes to that. She speaks strongly against Col. Gadhafi and says that the United States should make sure he is ousted, no matter what it takes.
