BANGKOK: -- Thai police have been asked by the Federal Bureau of Investigation of the United States to track down an American known as James J. Bulger, who is among the bureau's 10 most wanted fugitives.

The suspect, a Boston-based gangster, has a million (40 million baht) price on his head.

He has been high on the list of criminals wanted by the US on 18 counts of murder, racketeering, extortion and money laundering in the US, Europe and Asia, according to Pol Lt Gen Achirawit Supannapesa, the police spokesman.

The suspect has assumed different names and undergone many facial surgeries.
