An unusually reticent and diplomatic US Ambassador Hans Hertell visited the DR?s new attorney general, Francisco Dominguez Brito, yesterday, where the two discussed local initiatives to combat drug trafficking and organized crime. The digital edition of El Caribe says that Hertell requested the extradition of several individuals, but did not specify who they were. Hoy newspaper says that cooperation with the Drug Enforcement Agency was one of the chief topics of the conversation, but Hertell limited his comments to saying he was an old friend of Dominguez Brito and was merely wishing his friend success at his new post. When reporters asked if there were any former government officials on the list of extraditions requested by the United States, the ambassador said the reporters could read the communiques issued at the United States Embassy. Dominguez Brito also met with reporters and told them of his plans to work in conjunction with the United States in its fight against organized crime.
