THE trial of two Libyan men accused of the Lockerbie bombing, which killed a Bromsgrove woman, got under way again this week following a summer recess.
The proceedings against Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi and Al Amin Khalifa Fhimah, who are accused of bombing Pan Am Flight 103, which exploded over Lockerbie in December 1988 killing 270 people, including Bromsgrove GP Jim Swire's daughter, Flora, resumed on Tuesday.
The pair are being tried for murder and other charges in connection with the bombing, at Camp Zeist, in Holland, under Scottish Law.
It began in May but weeks later was adjourned after a scientific report submitted by one of the prosecution's star witnesses said the suspects could not have planted the device.
And in June an American TV news programme named an Iranian man, Ahmad Behbanani, as a co-ordinator of most of Iran's terrorist operations, claiming he admitted masterminding the air crash.
Dr Swire and his wife Jane, are sharing a rented flat with other relatives who will be attending the trial in the Netherlands.
