Jose Sosa Orantes was turned over Friday by officials in Canada, where he had been in custody since last year on U.S. charges of lying about his role in Guatemala’s war when he applied for American citizenship in 2008, federal authorities said. Sosa was a member of a Guatemalan military unit known as the “kaibiles” and helped command a unit assigned to track down suspected guerrillas who had stolen military weapons, according to court documents.

If convicted of both counts, he faces up to 15 years in prison. “Although he’s not being charged with any war crimes...
