Camp Zeist - Judges yesterday agreed to adjourn the Lockerbie trial until May 23rd after prosecutors and defence lawyers came to an agreement on certain evidence from the 1988 jumbo jet bombing.
The pact will allow prosecutors to cancel a number of witnesses. The extra time is needed for them to prepare next stage of their case relating to technical and forensic evidence.
Libyans Mr Abdel Basset al-Megrahi and Mr Al-Amin Khalifa Fahima have been on trial since May 3rd, charged with murdering the 270 victims of the 1988 airliner bombing.
