NN)The United States appears almost certain to request the extradition of drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, who has twice escaped prison in Mexico.
The U.S. Department of Justice said Friday it doesn't comment on pending extradition requests "before they become the subject of public judicial proceedings."
But spokesman Peter Carr said: "I can confirm that it is the practice of the United States to seek extradition whenever defendants subject to U.S. charges are apprehended in another country."
Guzman is included in at least seven indictments in various U.S. jurisdictions.
