Judge’s Bail Decision in Bomb Case Awaited
- Share via
Although a federal judge had been expected to rule Friday whether a man jailed on suspicion of trying to blow up the Vietnamese Embassy in Thailand could be released on bail, no decision was announced.
Both the federal prosecutor and Van Duc Vo’s attorney said they had not been notified by U.S. Magistrate Paul Game of his decision. The attorneys said the judge would circulate his ruling when he reaches one.
Vo, described by his attorney as a freedom fighter, has been in custody since Oct. 12, 2001. Federal prosecutors have opposed Vo’s request that he be released on bail, saying he is a flight risk.
