A suspect in Panama's deadliest terrorist attack has been extradited from Venezuela and taken into custody, advancing a decades-long investigation into a bombing that U.S. authorities have linked to Hezbollah and pursued for more than 30 years.
Ali Zaki Hage Jalil, a Colombian-born Venezuelan national, arrived in Panama City under heavy security and was transferred to judicial authorities for questioning after his extradition was approved by Venezuela's Supreme Court. The case stems from the 1994 bombing of Alas Chiricanas Flight 901, which killed all 21 people on board, most of them members of Panama's Jewish community.
