On Monday, U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich postponed the trial of Abu Agila Mohammad Masud, who is accused of making the bomb that destroyed Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988, killing 270 people. Jury selection had been scheduled to begin on Wednesday. The judge cited "newly discovered evidence" and "evidence located in other countries" as reasons for the delay. No new trial date was set, but a court hearing is scheduled for September 1 to discuss the status of the case. Masud, who has been in U.S. custody since 2022, has pleaded not guilty to charges related to the destruction of the aircraft. He allegedly worked as an intelligence operative for the government of Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi between 1973 and 2011.
