Lie.
There was no cooperation between the PPP and the FBI in Khan's arrest. The PPP were pissed off when the US nabbed Khan and Janet, Jagdeo and Luncheon were very vocal about it.

Head of the Defence Board, Dr Roger Luncheon had added that the Guyana government could find “no compelling evidence” for Khan to be investigated.
The administration, in fact, seemed more concerned about the manner of Khan’s arrest than his alleged crimes. Luncheon voiced the administration’s concerns by reiterating “its principled objection to the forceful and unlawful removal of its citizen across jurisdictions.”

BROOKLYN, USA: The New York based Caribbean Guyana Institute for Democracy (CGID) has dismissed attempts by Guyana government officials to defend Guyanese alleged drug-baron and death squad master-mind, Roger Khan, as "desperate pandering to an alleged criminal financier so as to dissuade him from naming accomplices and beneficiaries in the government."
Khan is currently in the United States awaiting trial on conspiracy and drug exportation charges. He was arrested in Suriname two weeks ago but was deported to Guyana via Trinidad & Tobago where he was arrested by US DEA agents.
On Saturday, July 15, 2006 , Guyana 's President Bharrat Jagdeo suggested to an audience in New York that Khan was a victim of US rendition, and said he is entitled to due process. Further such comments came last week from Guyana 's Cabinet Secretary, Dr Roger Luncheon and former Guyanese President, Janet Jagan, who defended Khan and questioned the legitimacy of his arrest.
This series of statements from government and PPP officials came suddenly after days of protest by Khan's relatives and supporters in Georgetown. Luncheon also announced that the government "is seeking answers" on the process that led to Khan's arrest by US agents.
Janet Jagan, a US-born Caucasian who is the de facto leader of the PPP and former President of the Republic, whose 1997 election was nullified by the Guyanese Supreme Court, claimed that Khan was kidnapped. She further charged that the US, Suriname and Trinidad & Tobago governments were guilty of grave offences. She also accused the Surinamese government of playing "stooge to the USA " for deporting Khan.
Jagan wrote in the PPP's publication "The Mirror" that the government of Suriname should have informed their Guyanese counterparts of their plan to deport Khan. She argued that Khan should have been handed over to Guyana police "who would have taken him under tight security to Georgetown where he would have been charged."
