Viktor Bout Extradition delayed again
28 July 2008
Readers who are wondering when fugitive accused arms trafficker Viktor Bout, dubbed the "Merchant of Death," and the "Lord of War" by the media, will be appearing in a US court will have to wait a bit more. Bout's extradition hearing in Thailand was delayed this week for the second time in two months, again due to issues with his lawyers not being present.
Bout has been charged in the United States with conspiring to sell advanced weapons to the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, the FARC, a designated global terrorist organisation. See the World-Check Archive for our earlier coverage of his arrest. Mr. Bout is extensively profiled on World-Check.
