Burma asked to hand over fugitive

Ranong-Burmese police were yesterday requested to arrest and return Surachai
"Bang Ron" Ngernthongfu, a narcotics fugitive.

Pol Lt-Gen Noppadol Somboonsap, assistant police chief, made the request to
Pol Lt-Col Sit Ayue, deputy director of Burma's Central Committee for Drug
Abuse Control in talks held here.

Thai police knew the whereabouts of Surachai, said Pol Lt-Gen Noppadol. He
said he had received a positive response from the Burmese police but noted
that he had to wait and see the result.

The Burmese side also promised to pressure the ethnic Wa to stop producing
drugs by 2005.??????
