英语文摘：Obama, Cameron try to cool down tensions over BP

The Obama administration has asked the British government to review the decision to release Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, who served eight years of a life sentence for the 1988 bombing of a Pan Am Flight over Lockerbie, Scotland. The bombing left 270 people dead, most of them Americans.

BP has admitted lobbying the British government to sign a prisoner transfer agreement with Libya, which in fact paved the way for the oil giant to get profitable contracts from Libya.

"The role of BP and any lobbying they might have done is an issue for BP and an issue that they should explain themselves," said Cameron.
