Roger Khan

Two months before drug lord Roger Khan was captured, the US Ambassadors to Guyana and Suriname met in Trinidad to map out a plan to nab him and an approach was to be made to President Bharrat Jagdeo to advise of an imminent extradition request even though Washington had doubts about the government’s commitment.

Former US Ambassador to Guyana, Roland Bullen believed that the period before the 2006 General Elections was an “auspicious” time to seek the extradition of now convicted kingpin, Khan and other associates, according to US Embassy cables released by Wikileaks.

Khan was nabbed On June 15, 2006
