WASHINGTON (AP) — In a bid to head off any embarrassing incidents, the State Department said Tuesday it is working with Libya to find a place for Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi to stay when he visits the United Nations next month.

Libya has drawn criticism from families and friends of Americans who died in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, because the only person convicted in the attack, a terminally ill Libyan, received a hero’s welcome last week when he returned to his home country from a Scottish prison.
