IN BRIEF / MEXICO

Arellano-Felix Kingpin Sent to U.S. in Drug Case

From Times Wire Reports

September 17, 2006

Mexico extradited drug kingpin Francisco Javier Arellano-Felix to the United States, making him the first major Mexican drug lord to be sent north to face drug charges.

The extradition was a victory for U.S. officials who have been pushing Mexico to hand over more drug lords.

After serving a 10-year sentence in Mexico, the former head of Tijuana's Arellano-Felix drug clan was turned over to U.S. authorities in Brownsville, Texas. He will be brought to California to face trial on charges stemming from a 1980 case in which he allegedly sold cocaine to an undercover police officer.
