Lockerbie bombing trial postponed again over new evidence
The case centres on the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, in December 1988, which killed 270 people.
The trial of a Libyan man accused of involvement in the Lockerbie bombing has been postponed for a third time after new evidence emerged shortly before proceedings were due to begin.
According to the BBC, the latest delay relates to evidence concerning the 37-year-old case. The trial had been scheduled to proceed in Scotland, but the new material has prompted further consideration before the proceedings can begin.
The case centres on the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, in December 1988, which killed 270 people.
The latest postponement is expected to add to the lengthy legal process surrounding the attack, one of the deadliest acts of terrorism in British history.
The development comes as prosecutors and defence lawyers assess the new evidence and its potential implications for the case.
The Lockerbie bombing has remained a major international legal and political issue for decades, involving investigations across the United States, Britain and Libya.
