Demjanjuk deported from U.S. to Germany
CLEVELAND (Reuters) - Suspected Nazi death camp guard John Demjanjuk was deported from the United States on Monday, flown from Ohio to Germany where he faces trial in the deaths of 29,000 Jews. A chartered jet carrying the 89-year-old Ukraine-born Demjanjuk took off from Cleveland's Burke lakefront airport at 7:13 p.m. EDT for an overnight flight to Munich.
An airport official said Demjanjuk showed no emotion and said nothing as he was put on the plane seated in a medical transport chair. He was taken from his home near Cleveland earlier by an ambulance, shielded from cameras by a bedsheet and driven to an immigration office in downtown Cleveland.
