I NEWS I
Man Extradited
In Kidnapping
Brussels — An ultra
Orthodox Jew who kidnapped
his three children from his
former wife, a Belgian
Catholic, has been extradited
from New York. Chaim
Yarden, 31, an Israeli citizen,
was arrested in New York last
January after Belgian
authorities requested his
extradition.
Yarden is accused of abduc-
ting the children from their
school three years ago after a
Brussels court awarded
custody to their mother,
Patricia Heyman. Yarden,
who was a secular Jew at the
time of his marriage, became
ultra-Orthodox just before he
divorced his wife, whom he
met in Israel. He has been
sentenced in Belgium to one
year in prison.
Police have been unable to
find the children.
