* Blogmanac | Torture suspect flown to Spain
In what activists hailed as a landmark for human rights worldwide, Mexico yesterday extradited to Spain an Argentine retired naval officer accused of atrocities during the nation's 1970s military dictatorship.
Mexican authorities handed over Ricardo Cavallo, who has been in jail since 2000, to Spanish police and Interpol officers to be flown to Madrid on a Spanish air force plane. Cavallo, 51, allegedly worked in the notorious School of Naval Mechanics in Buenos Aires, which served as a secret torture center under military rule, under which 30,000 Argentinians were killed or disappeared.
