Noriega Surrenders in Panama Faces U S Drug Charges
Manuel Noriega arrived in the United States to face a 1988 drug indictment after surrendering to U S troops outside the Vatican Embassy in Panama City. He is to appear in Miami for arraignment before U S District Judge William Hoeveler. The case centers on charges that he used his office to aid Colombia's Medellin cartel. Noriega’s surrender followed pressure from Panamanian officials and U S authorities, who say a strong case exists. President Bush stated Noriega turned himself in with Panamanian government knowledge and pledged a fair trial. Security cited no deals, though reports noted allowed calls, secrecy until arrest, and wearing his uniform as part of US conditions.
