Two Colombian men charged with taking part in the kidnapping of five American oil workers and killing one of them were extradited to the United States to stand trial, authorities said.
Police handed over Juan Luis Bravo and Henry Jamioy Quistial to FBI agents at El Dorado International Airport in the capital, Bogota, said police Col. Daniel Castiblanco.
The five Americans and five other oil workers were abducted Oct. 12, 2000, in Ecuador. Ronald Sander, 54, an employee of Tulsa, Okla.-based Helmerich & Payne Inc., was killed.
