The U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., postponed jury selection in the trial of Abu Agila Mohammad Mas’ud Kheir Al-Marimi, charged with constructing the bomb that destroyed Pan Am Flight 103 on December 21, 1988, killing 270 people. The postponement to January, the third in the case, follows the emergence of newly discovered evidence previously unknown to prosecutors and the defense. The defendant has been in custody since December 2022; this marks the first U.S. prosecution related to the bombing.
