Colombia: Colombia on Wednesday urged Israel to answer its request to extradite a mercenary freed in November from Russian detention and convicted in absentia here for training right-wing paramilitary squads.

"We've been waiting for a response but none has arrived," said Interior and Justice Minister German Vargas, adding the latest extradition notice relating to the wanted man, Yair Klein, was over four months old.

Bogota filed the request to the Israeli foreign ministry on January 27, said Vargas, speaking at a public event in Medillin, Colombia's second city.

In 2001, a Colombian court sentenced Klein in his absence to 10 years and eight months prison for training paramilitaries and Medellin drug cartel enforcers in military and terrorist techniques.
