U.S. Wins Battle Over 'Merchant Of Death'


Recommended Posts

Posted

The Cabinet approved Bout's extradition Tuesday after a long legal battle, and police said the 43-year-old was put aboard a plane that departed Bangkok at about 1:30 p.m. (0630 GMT; 1:30 a.m. EST) in the custody of eight U.S. officials.

In New York, a law enforcement said Bout was expected to arrive there around 9 p.m. EST Tuesday (0200 GMT Wednesday). The official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of security concerns, declined to name the airport.

Thai PM Abhisit Veiiaiiva said his Cabinet had approved extradition after acknowledging an earlier appeals court decision that Bout could be legally extradited.

Russians are pissed! maybe they will stop coming to Thailand, (heres hoping)

So, what now, is Thailand in the clear from any backlash, and why did they hand him to the USA and not Russia?
