WICHITA (AP) — A federal judge has put off this month’s scheduled trial in the case of an avionics technician accused in a suicide bomb plot at a Wichita airport.
A notation on the court’s docket Tuesday indicates the Feb. 18 trial for Terry L. Loewen has been canceled with no new trial date set. A status hearing has been scheduled for March 24 in federal court in Wichita.
The 58-year-old Wichita man was arrested Dec. 13 after an undercover sting when he allegedly tried to drive a van filled with inert explosives onto the airport tarmac.
Loewen has pleaded not guilty to charges of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction, attempting to use an explosive device to damage property and attempting to give material support to al-Qaida.
