泛美航空103号航班洛克比空难的受害者家属等待近40年,希望嫌疑人在美国法庭受审 1。涉嫌制造炸弹的利比亚前情报官员阿布·阿吉拉·穆罕默德·马苏德·海尔·阿里米的恐怖主义审判原定于周三在华盛顿特区开庭,但法官于周一以发现新证据为由推迟了审理 1。该案是美国本土首起针对这起导致270人死亡的袭击事件进行起诉的案件 1。
1988年,泛美航空103号航班在苏格兰洛克比上空被炸毁,造成270人死亡 1。阿里米是利比亚前情报官员,曾在利比亚被监禁多年 1。2017年,美国官员获得了一份2012年的访谈记录,阿里米在其中承认制造炸弹并与两名同谋实施了袭击 1。在2000年于荷兰举行的审判中,阿里米的一名涉嫌同谋被定罪,另一名被无罪释放 1。此外,利比亚政府于2003年正式承担责任,并同意向受害者家属支付近30亿美元 1。
The terrorism trial of Abu Agila Mohammad Masud Kheir Al-Marimi, the suspected bomb maker for the 1988 Pan Am Flight 103 bombing, was originally scheduled to begin in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday but was postponed by a judge on Monday due to the discovery of new evidence 1. This marks the first prosecution on U.S. soil for the attack over Lockerbie, Scotland, which killed 270 people 1. For nearly 40 years, the victims' families have been waiting for suspects to face trial in a U.S. court 1.
Al-Marimi is a former Libyan intelligence officer who was imprisoned in Libya for years 1. In 2017, U.S. officials obtained a 2012 interview transcript in which Al-Marimi admitted to building the bomb and carrying out the attack with two accomplices 1. A 2000 trial in the Netherlands resulted in the conviction of one of his alleged accomplices and the acquittal of another 1. The Libyan government officially accepted responsibility in 2003 and agreed to pay nearly $3 billion to the victims' families 1.
