White House moves to extradite prisoner from Iraq

None

The White House has asked Iraq to hand over a Hezbollah commander who was accused of masterminding a 2007 attack that killed five American soldiers, a senior U.S. official said Thursday, though two Iraqi courts have declared him not guilty.

 

The case is a tricky aftermath of the long US military campaign in Iraq that ended last year and has elements of both Iraqi and US internal politics. (AP)
