Dirty Warriors punished, 20 years later: (maybe by 2022, whoever murdered those Bagram prisoners will be brought to justice) Every Thursday afternoon for the past 20 years a group of woman has marched quietly in front of the presidential palace in the centre of Buenos Aires. They are the mothers and grandmothers of some of those kidnapped and killed by the military government that ruled Argentina for seven years and they have been demanding to know what happened to their loved ones. news.bbc.co.uk The Argentine authorities have arrested about 40 former military officers, for possible extradition to Spain on human rights charges. Those detained include former navy captain Alfredo Astiz - dubbed the "blond angel of death" - and other officers suspected of torture and murder during military rule between 1976 and 1983. Spanish judge Baltasar Garzon has requested the extradition of 45 former military officers accused of crimes against Spanish nationals. On Friday, Argentine President Nestor Kirchner signed an order allowing officers to be tried abroad - annulling a decree banning such extraditions. Mr Astiz, 50, has already been given a life sentence in absentia by a French court for the deaths of two French nuns during the dictatorship. Other officers on Judge Garzon's list include 1976 coup leader Jorge Videla and Emilio Massera, the head of the Navy School of Mechanics, which was known as a torture centre. news.bbc.co.uk
