extradition
From Canada

Vancouver, British
Columbia (JTA) — An
American fugitive preacher
who was captured in Canada
after fleeing his conviction
In Arizona on firearms
charges was ordered
extradited.
The Rev. Al Waddell, 51,
who is alleged to be a mem-
ber of the violent white
supremacist group Posse
Comitatus, faces up to 65
years in prison for making
and selling silencers, having
an unregistered machine
gun and giving false infor-
mation at his trial.
He also faces a maximum
cof five years for escaping. He
has been a fugitive since
1985.
Justice Thomas Braidwood
of the British Columbia
Supreme Court ordered the
Rev. Waddell extradited on
,only two of the seven
charges. Canada's extradi-
tion law provides that a
fugitive may only be
extradited for offenses that
are crimes in Canada.
Five of the seven firearms
offenses against the Rev.
Waddell are not.
The justice ruled that only
( the submachine gun offense
22-and the making of false
statement are crimes in
Canada.
While a silencer is con-
sidered a prohibited weapon
,in Canada, it must be
assembled.
The Canadian extradition
ruling means Arizona may
only sentence the Rev. Wad-
dell for those two offenses.
The weapons listed in the
charges against the Rev.
° Waddell include a Colt AR-
15 machine gun, a .22-
caliber Ruger rifle and a
number of silencers for .22-
caliber, 9mm, .45-caliber
and .380-caliber firearms.
The Rev. Waddell, who in-
'tends to appeal the extradi-
tion order, denied being a
member of the Posse Com-
He told the justice, "I
m
am diametrically opposed to
violence. It is against my
Christian beliefs."
While the Rev. Waddell
( was fleeing Canadian and
3 U.S. authorities, he would at
times preach at the funda-
mentalist Lighthouse Bap-
) tist Church in Surrey, a
suburb of Vancouver.
a According to the Van-
couver Sun, the pastor at the
time, the Rev. Cord Hagen,
"knew that Waddell was a
wanted man in the U.S. but
concealed him anyway."
