Calling on both India and the United States to begin formal extradition proceedings immediately, Greenpeace Toxics Campaigner Casey Harrell said Friday he had found Warren Anderson living in the upscale Hamptons resort district in Long Island, New York.
If he is a United States citizen I believe he is immune from extradition. Most extradition treaties specifically exempt citizens from extradition from their own nations.

I'm actually pretty sure the the reality is exactly the opposite. Unless an extradition treaty exists, then no country is under any kind of obligation to help enforce another country's laws.

Of course...I''m talking about the way things were without the ICC. I have no idea how the International criminal court effects this situation, if at all.
