Brazil extradites `Hizbollah fundraiser' to Paraguay
Most unusually, the Brazilian government has granted the extradition to
Paraguay of Assad Ahmad Mohamad Barakat, accused of being the main
fundraiser in the Triple Border area for the Lebanese party Hizbollah.
Barakat is of Lebanese origin. What is unusual is that Barakat has a Brazilian
wife and children, a situation that has traditionally been a shield against
extradition.
