Abstract: 
On September 5, 1988, Court of Appeals Judge Stavros Gardiokiotos, presiding over a three-member appeals council, postponed for the second time a hearing on the United States Government's request to extradite Mohammed Rashid, 39.  The U.S. has charged Rashid with planting a bomb aboard a Pan Am jumbo jet on a Tokyo-Hawaii flight in 1982.
