Documents Show Libyan Government Warned UK Day Before Fatal Shooting at Embassy in London

Newly released files show that British officials were warned about possible violence the night before policewoman Yvonne Fletcher was shot dead in 1984 by a gunman inside the Libyan embassy in London.

The documents, released Friday by Britain's National Archives, show that Libyan officials in Tripoli and London said the Libyan government would not be held responsible if there was violence at a planned anti-government rally outside the Libyan People's Bureau in London.
