Astiz was detained Tuesday Sept. 19, 2003 in an investigation into alleged human rights abuses during the country's 1976-83 military dictatorship. Police arrested Alfredo Astiz in Buenos Aires on a request by a judge probing the torture and killing of thousands of people during the campaign against suspected government opponents. Judge Sergio Torres' order came in response to efforts to extradite Astiz to France, which has repeatedly sought to try him for the deaths of two French nuns. Astiz has also been sought by authorities in Sweden investigating the disappearance of a Swedish teenager, who witnesses reported seeing at a torture center. (AP Photo/Daniel Muzio, file)
