A trial related to the Lockerbie bombing is postponed after families of the victims say they are “absolutely floored” that jury selection does not begin as scheduled. Multiple outlets report that jury selection was due to start on Wednesday in Washington, DC.
The case concerns Abu Agila Masud, who is set to be tried over the Lockerbie bombing. According to the reports, the postponement delays the start of jury selection rather than concluding the proceedings. While the outlets share the same core information about the planned start date and the reaction from victims’ families, they focus more on the families’ disappointment than on the specific procedural reason for the delay.
None of the provided summaries include further detail on the cause of the postponement or new dates for the trial, but they consistently describe the planned jury-selection process and the public reaction from those affected.
