MOSCOW, March 18 (RIA Novosti) – An Armenian national wanted in
Russia on murder charges will be extradited from Iraq Tuesday evening,
the Interpol National Central Bureau in Russia said.

The bureau said the extradition would be the first from Iraq in the
history of Russia’s 17-year Interpol membership.

The bureau said the 23-year old Armenian, on Interpol’s list of
wanted fugitives, accused of committing murder in 2006 in Moscow,
was detained last July in northern Iraq using forged documents.

It added that the accused man will be transported to Moscow under a
joint Interpol-Federal Prisons Service escort.

It will be the 14th extradition for the Interpol Russia Bureau in 2008.
