A federal magistrate has denied Argentina's request to extradite a Miami businessman to face trial over that country's infamous 1972 Trelew massacre, saying Argentina's witnesses are unreliable and the alleged crimes constitute "political offenses" barred under the extradition treaty. Roberto Guillermo Bravo was said by Argentina to be the triggerman when 16 rebels were lined up outside the Zar prison and executed. The military government of Argentina at the time said the rebels were killed in an escape attempt.
