Spoanish government backs Pinochet extradition attempt
The Spanish government has approved a judge's request to seek the extradition of the former Chilean dictator, General Pinochet, from Britain.
The General, who was detained in London while undergoing medical treatment last month, is wanted on charges of genocide, terrorism and torture while he ruled Chile after overthrowing President Allende in 1973.
A final decision is to be made by the Law Lords in Britain this week on the legality of General Pinochet's arrest.
