NO.1 ON MARSHAL'S MOST WANTED LIST SEIZED IN ATLANTA

An alleged cocaine kingpin an the No.1 fugitive on the Marshal
Service's "15 Most Wanted" list was arrested Thursday at an Atlanta
airport.

Peter Paul Zink, charged with running a cocaine ring in Wisconsin, had
been a fugitive since 1988.

A California native, Zink, 43, was arrested in Guatemala in February,
but officials there refused to extradite him to the United States to
face the drug charges. They did, however, kick Zink out of the country
as an "undesirable person."

Guatemalan officials, working with representatives from the U.S. State
Department, put Zink on a flight Thursday morning. State Department
officials guarded Zink on the way to Atlanta's Hartsfield
International Airport.
