Italy: Judge issues 140 arrest warrants in "Plan Condor" case. Bush NOT YET indicted.

[L. Coyote]

Incredible positive news for human rights and for victim families,
immensely bad news for all Americans involved in the murders.

So far, CIA Director George H. W. Bush, Henry Kissinger, and other U.S. nationals
have eluded arrest warrants. That may change as the legal process moves forward.
Already, both former Argentine and Uruguayan leaders are among those indicted.

ROME (Reuters) Dec. 24, 2007 - An Italian judge on Monday issued arrest warrants for 140 Latin Americans suspected of involvement in a coordinated persecution of leftists and dissidents by Latin America's military rulers in the 1970s, Italian news agencies said.

Almost all of those on the list are living in Latin America and a number are already in custody there as part of investigations into the conspiracy known as "Plan Condor."

One man, Nestor Jorge Fernandez Troccoli, a former member of the Uruguayan secret services, was arrested in southern Italy, the Ansa and Agi news agencies reported.

The warrants involve Argentines, Bolivians, Brazilians, Chileans, Paraguayans and Peruvians.

They are suspected of complicity in the deaths of 25 Italian citizens killed in Latin American by military regimes in the 1970s, the news agencies reported.

Under Italian law, Italian magistrates can investigate the killings of Italian citizens overseas.
