Mexican police search for ‘dirty war’ dead at former military base

Federal investigators began searching over the weekend for remains of victims of Mexico’s “dirty war,” which led to the disappearance of hundreds of dissidents in the 1960s and 1970s.

About 15 police and investigators from the federal attorney general’s office used scanning equipment to search for bodies at a former military base in the southern town of Atoyac de Alvarez, about 80 kilometers (50 miles) from the resort city Acapulco, said Julio Mata, who represents an association of victims’ relatives.”*
