DRUG CARTEL SUSPECT EXTRADITED TO THE U.S.
A suspected member of a major drug cartel was extradited to the U.S., the
first use of a landmark ruling that allows Mexico to send citizens north to
face prosecution.
Everardo Arturo "Kitty" Paez, believed to be a lieutenant in the Arellano
Felix drug cartel, was arrested in Tijuana in 1997. A federal indictment
alleges that he conspired to distribute about 2,200 pounds of cocaine in
the United States.
