BEIJING
(AP) — Chinese media say a suspected
drug gangster accused of orchestrating the murders of 13 Chinese sailors on the
Mekong River last year has been extradited from Laos.
The
official Xinhua News Agency says Naw Kham was flown on a chartered plane
dispatched by Chinese authorities Thursday morning. State broadcasters aired
his arrival live.
Nine
Thai soldiers previously surrendered in the case but will not be extradited.
Thai authorities are still investigating, and police will go to China this
month to interview the victims’ families.
The
sailors were on two Chinese cargo ships hijacked last October in Southeast
Asia’s Golden Triangle region, which is notorious for the production and
trafficking of heroin and other illicit drugs.
China,
Myanmar, Laos and Thailand started joint river patrols last December after the
murders.
