Russia police nab Israeli wanted by Interpol for training militants

By Reuters

MOSCOW - Russian police detained an Israeli man wanted by Interpol for training militants when he arrived at Moscow's Domodedovo airport, Russia's agency for fighting organized crime and terrorism reported Tuesday.

Yair Gal Klein, 61, had been sentenced in absentia to 10 years in jail by a Colombian court in 1991 for training militants for drug cartels in the late 1980s, the agency's spokesman said, citing intelligence reports.

Interpol had tipped off Russia's Interior Ministry that Klein could attempt to travel to Moscow in August. He was detained when he arrived at the airport on Monday.

"To get through passport controls in many countries without any difficulties, he changed the date of birth, his surname and the passport number," the spokesman said.

His passport only contained the name Gal Klein when he was detained in the Moscow airport. Klein will be extradited to Israel which will then transfer him to Colombia, he said.
