Three new cases beginning in February in Mar del Plata and Cordoba will vindicate the more than 30,000 dead the human right organizations report as victims of the military regime.

A most controversial hearing held in this capital at the Tribunal Oral Federal involve 34 cases of child kidnapping and disappearance, to which 200 people already gave their testimony.

Last week, ex Under Secretary of State Elliot Abrams said the White House was aware of the theft of babies born to people disappeared by the military dictatorship in Argentina.

"The activist group Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo said Abrams’ testimony shows how useful it would be for the United States to declassify all of its documents on the Argentine dictatorship, in particular the secret files of the CIA and the FBI. Doing so might provide information to help identify more of the illegally adopted children, it said."
