Khaled El Turk - a Belizean of Lebanese origin remains in the Hattieville prison tonight pending extradition.
The US Embassy today confirmed that he has beenindicted in the United States for pseudoephedrine trafficking.
The Embassy reports that "he was detained on October 16 by the Belize police and arrested on October 18, with a provisional arrest warrant, under the U.S. - Belize extradition treaty."
According to our reports he was arrested at the Belize-Corozal border heading to Cancun.
Belize police believe that El Turk may somehow factor into this week's murder of Abdul Aziz Mohammed Dib - who was killed on Tuesday at the King Kabob Lebanese restaurant.
El Turk's associates in the Belize- Lebanese community flatly deny any connection.
