A military court has postponed the trial of an alleged al-Qaida loyalist accused of plotting to attack New York City train tunnels, Lebanon's state-run news agency, NNA, has said. The report said the trial of Assem Hammoud, initially scheduled to start Friday, has been put off until October because the U.S. investigation appears to be continuing. Hammoud was arrested in Lebanon in 2006 in a plot allegedly involving at least eight people. The FBI said the plotters planned to bomb and flood Hudson River train tunnels that carry more than 215,000 passengers each weekday between New York and New Jersey. Lebanese authorities said they found maps and bombing plans on Hammoud's personal computer. They said he admitted to the plot and swore allegiance to al-Qaida.(AP)
