New evidence prompts trial delay for Libyan charged in 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103

A federal judge has postponed a trial in the US of a former Libyan intelligence official charged in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, citing the discovery of new evidence that defence attorneys want to examine in the nearly 40-year-old case.

Jury selection was scheduled to begin on Wednesday for the federal trial of Abu Agila Mohammd Mas’ud Kheir Al-Marimi in Washington. His trial will be the first in the US for the 21 December 1988 bombing over Lockerbie in Scotland, which killed 270 people.
