FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MONDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2005 WWW.USDOJ.GOV AG (202) 514-2007 TDD (202) 514-1888 The extradition of Baz Mohammad, a drug kingpin with links to the Taliban, is an historic step in our work with the Afghan people to end the dual threat of narco-terrorism. This first-ever extradition from Afghanistan sends a clear message to drug lords around the word: Those who seek to destroy American lives will be brought to justice. I thank President Karzai for his leadership, and I thank the prosecutors and law enforcement agents of both nations whose dedication and hard work made today's announcement possible. 05-562
