The Nation : Judge Orders Extradition
Retired auto worker John Demjanjuk of Cleveland was ordered extradited to Israel to stand trial for war crimes he allegedly committed while serving as a Nazi death camp guard. U.S. District Judge Frank J. Battisti also revoked bond for Demjanjuk, who was taken into custody. Battisti stayed Demjanjuk’s surrender to Israel until May 1 to allow him to file an appeal. The extradition decision will be made by Secretary of State George P. Shultz.
