		Van Duc Vo, 46, was removed from a federal detention center in Los Angeles and flown to Thailand Dec. 1 after Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice signed an order to extradite him, said U.S. attorney spokesman Thom Mrozek.
		Vo, a naturalized U.S. citizen who fled communist Vietnam in 1978, was arrested in October 2001 after returning from a trip to Bangkok, where authorities there accuse him of placing a backpack full of explosives in front of the Vietnamese embassy and tossing a bomb over the compound's fence.
		Vo argued that the crime with which he was charged was a political offense, which was not a valid basis for extradition under terms of the treaty.
