    • Abstract:
      One of the rebels who held three American defense contractors hostage for years has been extradited to the United States. The rebel, Gerardo Aguilar, faces federal charges of exporting cocaine to the United States. He was captured last year when the contractors and a French-Colombian politician, Ingrid Betancourt, were rescued. Colombia's Supreme Court authorized extradition on the cocaine charges but denied an American request that Mr. Aguilar face kidnapping charges. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
