Bangkok (AFP) Nov 16, 2010 Alleged Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout was flown out of Bangkok Tuesday on a US special jet, a senior police official said after Thailand approved his extradition on terrorism charges. "Bout already left Thai soil at 1:27 pm (0627 GMT) from Don Mueang airport," Colonel Supisarn Bhakdinarunart, commander of Thailand's Crime Suppression Division, told AFP.

Bout, a 43-year-old former Soviet air force pilot, had been fighting extradition since his March 2008 arrest after a sting operation in Bangkok involving undercover US agents posing as Colombian FARC rebels.
