SUSPECTED DRUG LORD EXTRADITED TO FLORIDA

Authorities on Sunday whisked an alleged mob boss known as the "King of
Heroin" to Florida to face U.S. justice on narcotics charges in the first
such extradition of a suspected drug lord to the United States since 1990.

Wearing handcuffs and looking grim, Jaime Orlando Lara Nausa, 30, was put
aboard a twin-engine U.S. aircraft for Fort Lauderdale at 7 a.m., officials
said. Lara is wanted in both New York and Florida on charges that his
alleged narcotics ring shipped about 20 pounds of pure heroin a week to the
United States.
