Belize police arrested an American fugitive with Al Qaeda ties and handed him over to U.S. authorities, a local television station reported Monday.
James Ujaama, who was arrested in 2002 in connection with plots to poison water supplies and later pleaded guilty to dealing with Al Qaeda and providing various types of material support to the Taliban, was wanted for violating his parole.
"He entered Belize about 10 days or so ago using a Mexican passport," Assistant Police Commissioner Eduardo Wade told Belize's Channel 5 station.
"Police conducted an investigation and some time around midnight last night or earlier this morning this fugitive was apprehended here in Belize City."
Wade said the 41-year-old Ujaama, also known as Ernest James Thompson and Bilal Ahmed, had since been taken out of the country.
