(AP) - U.S. Rep. Steve Rothman says he's beenassured Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi won't stay in Englewood,N.J., when he visits the United States next month to address the U.N. General Assembly.

The Libyan government has been renovating an estate there aheadof Gadhafi's first U.S. visit. But Gadhafi is unwelcome in NewJersey, which lost 38 residents in the 1988 bombing of Pan AmFlight 103. The attack, which killed 270 people, is widely believedto be the work of Libyan intelligence.

Gadhafi angered the U.S. and Britain last week with the warmwelcome given to the Lockerbie bomber, Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, whowas released from a Scottish prison because he is dying of cancer. Rothman says Libyan officials told him Friday Gadhafi won't stayin New Jersey during his visit.
