Spain Says ex-Venezuelan Spy Chief Wanted by US is Missing

Associated Press

   MADRID - Spanish police said Wednesday they have been unable to locate
   a Venezuelan former spymaster wanted by the United States for
   extradition on charges of drug trafficking.

   Police told The Associated Press that its officers have been unable to
   find Maj. Gen. Hugo Carvajal.

   News website El Español reported on Friday that a Spanish court had
   reversed an earlier ruling throwing out the U.S. arrest warrant and
   that it had ordered authorities to proceed with the extradition
   request. A spokesman for the National Court said Wednesday that no
   decision on the case has been made public at this time.

   Carvajal's lawyer, Maria Dolores de Arguelles, said her client couldn't
   be considered a fugitive because the defense has not been officially
   notified of the court ruling granting the extradition, and no court
   summons or arrest warrant has been issued.
