, even though other Australians provided military services to foreign states. Australia’s attorney-general last month accepted an extradition request from Washington for Duggan, who was arrested in rural Australia in October. He remains in custody in Sydney, and his next court date is on Feb. 13.

The defense minister’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
