BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) - U.S. Ambassador Earl Anthony Wayne said Tuesday his government will work with Argentina to return a dirty war suspect arrested in the United States and wanted for trial in the South American nation.
Ernesto Guillermo Barreiro, a retired Argentine army major accused of being the chief interrogator at a dictatorship-era torture center, was arrested this month in Virginia and charged with criminal violations of U.S. visa laws, U.S. officials said.
Argentine prosecutors say Barreiro was responsible for the torture and death of several individuals during Argentina's 1976-83 dictatorship and its dirty war crackdown on dissent.
