10,000 fugitives caught in US round-up

Jose Rivera-Sanchez, a fugitive since tunnelling out of a Puerto Rican prison 11 years ago, took a new name and found new lodgings in Connecticut.

Authorities finally caught up with him this week as he was arrested along with more than 10,000 fugitives wanted for murder, rape, child abuse and other crimes in the largest co-ordinated crackdown by federal, state and local law enforcement officials in US history.
