FILE PHOTO OF GREAT TRAIN ROBBER RONALD BIGGS AT HOME IN RIO.
"Great Train" robber Ronald Biggs celebrates outside his home in Rio de Janeiro in this file photo from November 12, 1997 after the Supreme Court rejected a British request for his extradition. After living in Brazil for 31 years and in frail condition after suffering three strokes, Biggs departed Rio enroute to England aboard a private jet chartered by "The Sun" newspaper of England. Flying with Biggs were a reporter and photographer from the paper, and co-conspirator in the robbery Bruce Reynolds.
