NEW YORK (AP) — A lawsuit filed against the New York Post by the parents of JonBenet Ramsey has been settled, both sides said Wednesday.

Terms were not made public.

"The action has been resolved to the satisfaction of all parties," Post spokeswoman Suzi Halpin said. She said the agreement with the Ramseys precluded any other comment.

The Ramseys' attorney, Lin Wood, confirmed that the settlement had been reached a couple of months ago and finalized in recent days.

John and Patsy Ramsey sued the paper for $4 million in May 2000, alleging it libeled their son Burke by portraying him as the prime suspect in his sister's murder. The boy was 9 at the time of the killing.

JonBenet, 6, was found beaten and strangled Dec. 26, 1996, in the basement of the family's home in Boulder, Colo.

The Ramseys later moved to Atlanta, and the killing remains under investigation.
