Three men held in Hong Kong for nearly four months agreed on Monday to be extradited to the United States, where they are wanted for allegedly trying to buy anti-aircraft missiles for al Qaeda.
The three -- two Pakistanis and a U.S. citizen of Indian origin -- were arrested on September 20 in Hong Kong for allegedly trying to sell a huge haul of heroin and hashish to undercover FBI agents in exchange for four Stinger missiles.
"I have no objection to be handed over to the United States...as soon as possible," one of the suspects, Syed Saadat Ali Faraz, told the Hong Kong District Court through an interpreter.
The other two suspects are Muhammed Abid Afridi and Ilyas Ali.
