It has now been confirmed that B.
Khurts lost on Friday his appeal against extradition from Britain to Germany to
face kidnapping charges. The High Court in London ruled that  Khurts, head of administration at the  National Security Council, should be sent to
Germany, where he is charged with kidnapping a Mongolian murder suspect from France
in 2003.

The court rejected claims that he
was lured to Britain by officials from the Foreign Office, only to be detained
on a European arrest warrant when he arrived in London in September. The
Mongolian government said it was “very disappointed” by the decision
and promised to take the case to the International Court of Justice.
