Lockerbie Suspect Claims He Was Illegally Removed From Libya 'Hooded and Cloaked'
Defense lawyers say the alleged abduction by a militia was unlawful and stripped the Washington court of jurisdiction, while US prosecutors say the trial can proceed.
Libyan citizen Abu Agila Al-Merimi, suspected in the case of the bombing of the Pan Am 103 aircraft over the Scottish town of Lockerbie in 1988, accused the United States authorities of forcibly transferring him from Libya to the United States, demanding that the judiciary drop the case, according to the British newspaper The Telegraph.
