Reform Party man wanted by US
By Elena Chong

FORMER Reform Party committee member Balraj Naidu made a brief court appearance on Tuesday for an extradition hearing which was adjourned until next Monday.

The businessman was arrested at his home last week and brought to court on a warrant of arrest.

He is wanted by the US Government on two terrorism-related charges and brokering an arms deal with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Ellam (LTTE) .

No charge has been laid against him.

The request for his extradition was made around the middle of the year.

Family members of Mr Naidu were in court with his lawyer, who declined comment.
