The Supreme Court has postponed a decision to extradite Mohammed Rashid, a Palestinian wanted in the United States for alleged aerial terrorism.

Judge Panayotis Theodoropoulos, who presides over the criminal section, said Tuesday that the court needs more evidence before it can rule on the American extradition request.

Rashid is held responsible for a bomb explosion aboard a Pan American airliner on a flight to Hawaii in 1982, in which one passenger was killed and several injured.
