MEXICO CITY (AP) - A Mexican judge has dismissed charges against a former domestic security chief accused in the disappearance of six reputed guerrillas at the height of the government's "dirty war" against insurgents.
Miguel Nazar Haro had been accused of a direct role in the disappearance of six members of Brigada Lacandona, a 1970s guerrilla faction. But the judge found there was not enough evidence to show he was involved.
The ruling Friday was the second legal victory for Nazar Haro, who headed the now-dissolved Federal Security Directorate from 1978 to 1982. An appeals court ruled previously that there wasn't enough evidence to pursue charges he was responsible for the 1975 kidnapping of Jesus Piedra Ibarra, an alleged guerrilla who disappeared.
