#1 The court's usual answer when a guilty party says FU, is to sieze their asets.

MAKE IT SO.

#2 Given that Libya already surrendered on the issue to the Americans, it seems likely they'd lose in a British court. On the other hand, PM Brown has already rolled over, eagerly, in order to get Libyan oil contracts, so Col. Gadhafi is probably feeling pretty confident the PM won't allow the case to get to court. National security, or some such nonsense.

#4 And the IRA also received training and a significant portion of their support from Libya. So it's not just a matter of explosives.
