Interpol: Islamic extremist rebel to be extradited to Uganda
An Islamic extremist rebel leader recently arrested in Tanzania is set to be extradited to Uganda after Tanzanian authorities agreed to cooperate, the head of Interpol in Uganda said Tuesday.
Jamil Mukulu, the Ugandan boss of the armed group Allied Democratic Forces, appeared in a Tanzanian court on Friday, charged with multiple counts of murder, after his extradition papers were filed, said Asan Kasingye. "He doesn't want to go back to Uganda because he thinks they will just kill him," said Kasingye, who questioned Mukulu in the Tanzanian city Dar es Salaam. Kasingye said the rebel leader was "picked up" from his home in Dar es Salaam earlier this year after an apparent tip-off.
