A US judge has ruled that a copy of an alleged confession by Abu Agila Masud, accused of making the bomb that destroyed Pan Am Flight 103, can be used as evidence in his upcoming trial. His defence team had argued the document was not the original.
The trial of Abu Agila Masud for his alleged role in the 1988 Lockerbie bombing is expected to begin in mid-January and last approximately two months. Masud faces charges related to the destruction of an aircraft, which killed all 259 passengers and crew, and 11 people on the ground.

The trial of Abu Agila Masud for the Lockerbie bombing is scheduled to begin on January 11 in Washington DC. The trial was postponed due to the disclosure of new evidence that defence lawyers need to examine.
