Lockerbie Bombing Trial for Masud Expected to Be Postponed
The trial of Abu Agila Masud Al-Marimi, a Libyan suspect in the 1988 Lockerbie bombing, may be postponed due to joint requests from both the prosecution and defense for additional time. Initially scheduled to start on May 12, 2025, the trial is delayed primarily because of Masud's health issues and the complexities surrounding the case. Masud is accused of constructing the bomb that led to the destruction of Pan Am Flight 103, killing 270 people, and he has pleaded not guilty to multiple charges. His defense has stated that further time is needed to prepare a reasonable pretrial schedule and a new trial date. The case has drawn attention not only for its historical significance but also due to Masud's alleged confession to a Libyan official about his role in the attack. A status hearing is anticipated if the judge grants this postponement request.
