World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported53m ago
The trial of a Libyan man accused in the Lockerbie bombing has been postponed just days before it was scheduled to begin. U.S. Judge Dabney Friedrich ordered the delay after newly discovered evidence and evidence located in other countries came to light three days prior to the proceedings.
This postponement marks the third time the trial has been delayed for the 37-year-old case. The abrupt halt stems from the late emergence of fresh investigative material that requires further review.
