Defiant Polanksi vows to fight US extradition bid

A DEFIANT Roman Polanski yesterday vowed to fight US attempts to extradite him from a Swiss jail cell to be sentenced for having sex with an underage girl 32 years ago.

The international tug-of-war over the 76-year-old Polish-born film director escalated as France and Poland urged Switzerland to free him on bail and pressed US officials all the way up to secretary of state Hillary Clinton on the case.

Polanski, who has dual French-Polish citizenship, was in his third day ofdetention after policearrested him on Saturday on an international warrant as he arrived in Zurich to receive a lifetime achievement award from a film festival.
