Scottish police and prosecutors are to meet Foreign Office officials to discuss Libyan defector Musa Kusa.
Representatives of the Crown Office and Dumfries and Galloway Police will attend talks in London on Monday as part of the ongoing investigation into the Lockerbie bombing.
They asked to interview Muammar Gaddafi's former intelligence chief and foreign minister about the atrocity earlier this week.
But a Crown Office spokesman said they were unable to comment on the nature of the discussions, as the police investigation is still live.
Kusa arrived in Britain on Wednesday night, claiming he had defected from Libya.
Before becoming foreign minister in 2009, he had been head of Colonel Gaddafi's feared intelligence agency since 1994 and was a senior intelligence agent at the time of the December 1988 Lockerbie bombing in which 270 people were killed.
He is believed to have played a key role in securing the release of the only man convicted over the incident, Abdelbaset al-Megrahi.

Yea right, like the man is looking for political asylum in the UK... I am sure that the first thing on his mind will be admitting to being party to the mass murder of 270 people. I have to ask myself if the Scottish Police and prosecutors are on the same planet as the rest of us.

Be well IAN 2411
