But the Home Office still has not agreed to send to the United State Nosratollah Tajik (photo), a former Iranian ambassador to Jordan sought by the Americans for years on charges that he tried to buy US night vision goggles for Iran while living in Britain. A WikiLeaks cable said American diplomats were told a few years ago that Britain was holding up extradition for fear its embassy in Tehran would be attacked if Tajik were sent to America for trial. But the embassy was attacked last November and the British government then closed it down. Still, Tajik lives at home in northern England.
