Leave it to our good friend Moammar to break up the good will being shared at the passing of our 40th President:
“I express my deep regret because Reagan died before facing justice for his ugly crime that he committed in 1986 against the Libyan children.” — Libya’s official JANA news agency, quoting Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi. Gadhafi was referring to the 1986 air strikes Reagan ordered, in which the Libyan leader’s adopted daughter and 36 other people were killed. Reagan ordered the raid in response to a discotheque bombing in Berlin allegedly ordered by Gadhafi that killed two U.S. soldiers and a Turkish woman and injured 229 people.

Well, should you expect condolences from a man who lost his daughter in the attack?

No, I wouldn’t. I just thought it was an interesting statement, especially in light of our new relationship with Libya.
