Judge hears from lawyers in failed plane bombing

DETROIT (AP) -- Federal prosecutors say they've turned over the vast majority of evidence to lawyers for a Nigerian man charged with trying to blow up a Detroit-bound airliner on Christmas. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab didn't attend a five-minute hearing Tuesday in Detroit federal court. U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds says she wants another update from lawyers Sept. 13. She'll set a trial date then. Abdulmutallab is accused of trying to detonate a bomb hidden in his underwear on a flight from Amsterdam. He's being held at a federal prison in Milan, Mich. Nigeria is asking to receive all future court filings to ensure Abdulmutallab's rights are honored. The judge says they're publicly available to anyone. Published: Thu, Jun 24, 2010
