Zambia extradites Aswad to UK
 LUSAKA - Zambia extradited suspected British militant Haroon Rashid Aswad to Britain on Sunday, a senior Zambian government official said. âAswad has been deported to Britain. He was put on the plane at 9 a.m. (0700 GMT) this morning,â Home Affairs Permanent Secretary Peter Mumba told Reuters. After arrival in Britain, he will probably be extradited to the United States, where he is wanted over an alleged attempt to set up a militant training camp in Oregon, the source said. Interpol said last week it had issued an arrest warrant for Aswad on behalf of the United States, which led to his detention.
