Merchant of Death gets sent to the US
One of the worlds most “prolific arms dealers” who reportedly inspired the Hollywood film “Lord of War” will be escorted by 50 Thai commandos when he is extradited to the US.
The alleged Russian arms dealer, Viktor Bout, who is dubbed the “Merchant of Death” and faces terrorism charges, went from jail to a Bangkok airport today for his extradition to the United States, Thai police said, despite opposition from Moscow.
US authorities have sent a private jet to Don Mueang airport to fly out Bout, said Crime Suppression Division acting chief Supisarn Bhakdinarinath.
Yeah I heard there was a movie being made about this guy. I wonder what happened to it. :mdr:
