1984 papers reveal Libya warnings
Newly-released papers from 1984 reveal warnings ahead of the violence outside the Libyan embassy, in which WPC Yvonne Fletcher was killed.
The papers show that Mrs Thatcher personally approved the decision to allow 30 diplomats at the Libyan Embassy in London to go free in 1984, even though one was thought to have shot the police officer.
