The Indian government says it will renew its request that the US extradite the former head of the company responsible for the 1984 Bhopal industrial gas disaster that left an estimated 15,000 people dead. Warren Anderson is the former chief executive of Union Carbide, now a subsidiary of Dow Chemical. Anderson was arrested shortly after the disaster but later fled India. The US has turned down repeated Indian requests for Anderson’s extradition, most recently in 2004.
