DETROIT (AP) - A Nigerian man accused of trying to blow up a jetliner near Detroit with a bomb hidden in his underwear is due in court Thursday for a hearing on changing his October trial date.
Detroit U.S. District Court Judge Nancy Edmunds Is to preside at the hearing for Umar Abdulmutallab's.
His trial is scheduled Oct. 4, but a lawyer helping him wants more time after getting more evidence from the government.
Anthony Chambers also seeks a new deadline to challenge evidence. Prosecutors have urged Edmunds to stick to the October trial date, saying any delays are "needless."
Abdulmutallab is accused of trying to blow up a plane as it approached Detroit Metropolitan Airport from Amsterdam on Christmas Day 2009. Eleven crew members and 279 passengers were aboard.
