The bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, which exploded over Scotland on its way from London to the United States in 1988 and the bombing of a Berlin nightclub in 1986.

Briley · Answer 2

Libya-United States relations are today cordial and cooperative, with particularly strong security cooperation only after the 2012 attack on the US liaison office or mission in Benghazi. Furthermore, a Gallup poll conducted in March and April 2012 found that Libyans had "among the highest approval" of US leadership in the entire Middle East and North Africa region.

However, for decades prior to the 2011 Libyan Civil War, the countries were enemies and engaged each other in several military skirmishes. The Libyan government of Muammar Gaddafi funded terror operations against the United States, most notably the 1986 Berlin discotheque bombing, to which the United States retaliated by bombing Libya, and the 1988 Lockerbie bombing.
