VOA标准英语2010年-Alleged Russian Arms Smuggler's Wife C

（单词翻译）

The wife of alleged¹ Russian arms smuggler² Viktor Bout³ says Thailand acted illegally in extraditing him to the United States and vows⁴ to launch a legal battle against Thai authorities.
Alleged Bout told journalists Monday the Thailand govment breaks the law by extraditing her hunsband Viktor Bout last week to the United States. Bout is alleged to be one of the world's most notorious arms smugglers and is accused of fueling conflicts in Africa, the Middle East, and South America.
He faces charges in a U.S. federal court of conspiring⁵ to kill Americans and supporting a terrorist organization, which he denies.
Thai authorities turned him over to U.S. officials after more than two-years of legal battles that raised tensions between Moscow and Washington.
His wife, Alla Bout says his extradition⁶ was illegal because there was still a case against him pending⁷ in court here.
She says transferring her husband to the United States before the end of legal procedures breaches⁸ legal and humanitarian⁹ norms. She says by doing this the government of Thailand has once again demonstrated its complete subservience¹⁰ to Washington and willingness to fulfill¹¹ any order from their American bosses.
Alla Bout says she plans to file a legal case to force the Thai government to bring her husband back to Thailand to release him.
She also seeks a visa to the U.S. where she says she will do all she can to defend her husband.
Russia also calls the extradition illegal and Thailand did it under intense pressure from Washington.
Thai authorities say they complied with Thailand's international legal obligations.
Viktor Bout was arrested in Bangkok in 2008 for allegedly offering to sell weapons of war to American undercover agents posing as members of the FARC, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia.
Washington considers the FARC, an armed rebel group fighting against the Colombian government, a terrorist organization.
Alla Bout says her husband is the victim of a smear¹² campaign by what she calls "unscrupulous United Nations experts", U.S. officials, and the media.
Some regional political analysts¹³ say Viktor Bout, an air force pilot during Soviet¹⁴ times, was close to Russian intelligence and may have information Washington wants.
Alla Bout says Russian diplomats¹⁵ told her U.S. officials offered her husband, herself, and their children political asylum¹⁶ in exchange for information on international arms trafficking.
But, she was told her husband refused, saying he was innocent and that he would fight the charges in court.
