Argentine ex-dictator admits to hiding opponents bodies

AFP - Former Argentine dictator Jorge Videla admitted for the first time in a new book that "7,000 or 8,000 people" disappeared under his regime between 1976 and 1981.

Caferino Reato, author of the book called "Final Disposition," says Videla admitted the disappearances during 20 hours of interviews in the federal military prison where he is held.

"Let's say there were 7,000 or 8,000 people who had to die to win the war against subversion," the book quotes Videla as saying. More at France24
