LONDON, England (CNN) - FBI agents hunting America's most wanted gangster have flown to London to meet with Scotland Yard detectives as the hunt for crime boss James J. Bulger focuses on Europe. Bulger, alleged former leader of the Winter Hill gang in Boston, has been on the run since January 1995 after he was indicted on 18 counts of murder. Earlier this year, a man meeting his description was spotted in Sicily, Italy.  London's Metropolitan Police confirmed FBI agents had met this week with an officer from its Extradition and International Relations Unit. The FBI Web site, which lists Bulger just beneath Osama bin Laden, says the Irish-American gangster also is wanted on extortion and drug and money laundering charges linked to organized crime in the Boston, Massachusetts, area. Bulger, now 78, has a violent temper, is known to carry a knife and is considered "extremely dangerous," the Web site warns.
