Lockerbie trial delayed by new evidence
An American judge has postponed the trial of a former Libyan official, Abou Aqeela Mohammed Masoud Khair Al-Mrmimi, who is accused of bombing Pan Am Flight 103 in 1988, an incident that resulted in the death of 270 people, most of whom were Americans. The delay is due to the discovery of new evidence that the defense attorneys wish to examine, though the nature of this evidence has not yet been disclosed. The trial was scheduled to begin in Washington the day after tomorrow, and it is the first trial in the United States regarding the Lockerbie incident. It is believed that Al-Mrmimi worked in the Libyan intelligence agency from 1973 until 2011, rising to the rank of colonel. He is accused of manufacturing the bomb that brought down the aircraft.
