They are going to kill this poor shmuck. He knows too much about Hezbollah's game in South America to fund their murder in Israel. The murder charge is probably a set up so they can condemn him to a quick death sentence. The United States knows this. That is why they were so upset with Columbia for cooperating... or perhaps Columbia is cooperating because Hezbollah's game is down there too. Whatever the reason... this guy is as good as dead. I feel bad for him. This guy is a fall guy... and our State Department knows it. a Patsy! The information this guy could of shared would of saved thousands of lives.
Colombia has sent an alleged Venezuelan drugs kingpin back to his home country, in a further sign of improved ties between the two nations. Walid Makled, arrested last year, was also wanted by Washington to face cocaine smuggling charges. Mr Makled alleged that Venezuelan officials helped his trafficking operations, charges they denied. Colombia's President Juan Manuel Santos had promised Venezuela that Mr Makled would be returned. Mr Santos said the Venezuelan extradition request had arrived before the one from the US authorities. Wanted for murder Mr Makled, wearing a dark suit and in handcuffs, was handed over to Venezuelan officials at Bogota airport on Monday morning local time and flown back to Venezuela. Mr Makled, known as The Turk, was a successful businessman in Venezuela whose family owned an airline, a transport company and several warehouses. He went into hiding in 2008 when his brothers were arrested after large quantities of cocaine were found at a family ranch. He was arrested in Colombia last August.
The US authorities say he was one of the biggest drug traffickers in the world.
In Venezuela, he is also wanted for the murder of a journalist and a Colombian drug lord. He has denied the charges, saying the authorities framed him in order to seize his businesses. Mr Makled's case became a political issue in Venezuela when he alleged in interviews from prison that he paid millions of dollars to senior figures in the government. Officials dismissed his claims as an attempt to avoid prosecution. via bbc.co.uk
