BANGKOK — The Thai government agreed today to extradite accused Russian arms trafficker Viktor Bout to the United States, where he faces terrorism charges.

Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said Bout would be sent as soon as the U.S. was ready to receive him, even suggesting that the suspect might already be on his way.

Bout, a 43-year-old former Soviet air force officer, was arrested in March 2008 in Bangkok as part of a sting operation led by U.S. agents.
