EX-NAZI COMMANDO DEPORTED TO AUSTRALIA

A man charged with serving in a Nazi commando unit that killed Jews and others during World War II has been deported to Australia, the Justice Department announced Saturday.

Konrads Kalejs, 80, of Winnetka, Ill., and St. Petersburg, Fla., was deported Friday because of his service as a member of the notorious "Arajs Kommando," an execution squad in Nazi-occupied Latvia, the department said.

Kalejs was deported to Australia, where he obtained citizenship in the 1950s, said Justice Department spokesman John Russell. - Associated Press
