Chile to insist on extradition from Argentina of terrorist accused of crimes in democracy
Chilean president Sebastián Piñera's administration announced it has decided to file a formal complaint before the National Refugees' Committee (CONARE) as a way of deepening their discontent on the political asylum the body decided to grant to ex guerrilla fighter Sergio Galvarino Apablaza Guerra.
The Chilean government will tackle the CONARE move and is to request for the decision to be “reconsidered.” This way, Piñera's administration aims at reversing the situation and force Apablaza to be back in his country for him to be tried.
Chilean attorney Gustavo Gené will be in charge of filing the request, as he had been taking the lead in the case and preparing the outlines for the complaint.
The former member of the FPMR Manuel Rodríguez Patriotic Front is wanted by the Chilean justice system for allegedly murdering right-wing senator Jaime Guzmán and kidnapping media businessman Christian Edwards del Río, son of the owner of El Mercurio newspaper, in 1991, when Chile was back in democracy.
Apablaza, who insists he is the victim of political persecution in his native country, went to court to learn details about a request for detention that the Chilean State presented against him.
The former guerrilla leader agreed to not leave the country and present himself before the judge weekly. Bonadío is the same judge who led Apablaza's extradition trial in 2005, when he ruled against the request for extradition.
Mr. Apablaza is married to Paula Chain, who happens to be a member of President Cristina Kirchner press relations office at Government House (Casa Rosada) and usually accompanies the Argentine president whenever she travels overseas, the most recent trip was to Germany.

What is that supposed to mean?
Best wishes to Chilean government, it won't be easy guys :(
I hope if the CONARE don´t change it desition our Gvt. suit Argentina Gvt. befor international courts for itacts.
Fortunately, Mr. Piñera is getting clear who Mrs. K and husband are, so the distance with them will growth enough to don´t fall in their game as the Uruguayan president did.
Cristina Fernández de Kirchner insults everyone equaly, she can't stop doing it, so you're not unique. Therefore I tell you, do not worry, be happy!
Argentine democracy is flawed if this is the type of candidate and government the average Argentine citizen has limited options to vote for in an election.
No wonder Argentina is always crying.
Don't be such a drama queen. England is not exactly an example of justice and fairness, not exactly unimpeachable roflol
~8 We're testing short range missiles, as we've tested twice yearly the same missiles for the last 28 years, missiles which have a range of six miles, yet you lot are buying armed Patrol Vessels with a range of hundreds of miles, and you have the cheek to tell us we're warmongering? Get a life!
Why don't you try it? Do you want to have a few SAS members dead by our special groups?. And I'm not talking about our military forces.

Love the high tec training Facilities was it your dads shed
SAS killing house
www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvoGef_PfK4
Yeah, the SAS are widely regarded as one of if not the best Special forces in the world.
Infact. The SAS have have a higher budget than the entire Argentine armed forces.
Apparently they want to make the force much bigger. The Americans are very impressed with the SAS & SBS.
Let me clear you up something because unfortunately you don't have the ability to see and understand the things.
These training facilities, are built in that way so that the instructor can see how they develop the training. For that reason as you can see, there are maybe four or five instructors in the top of the facilities, to control the time and the way that the special groups develop the training mission.
See?: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIJ_zQQ4TGQ&feature=related
Good video from the SAS, they perform counterterrorist missions too.BTW was your dad one of the terrorist killed by the SAS members in the video?
Fredy
Why don't you shut up mexican? They can do a better job more than your poor police forces who are being killed by the drugs dealer. By the way, how many policemen have been killed by smugglers this week? 15? 23?.
Other thing, don't you know that the GEOF constantly trains with special units of other countries like the FBI Hostage Rescue Team, the US Army Green Berets, the Israeli Yamam and numerous SWAT groups?.
Zethee
So why don't you try it? Instead of talking bullshit try it. I'm sick of warmongers. I say again: try it. If they have a higher budget than the entire Argentine armed forces why don't you try it?? Oh, I remember you don't have the balls to do it.
Just in case your boys try to do it, we will be expecting them.
Advice: Be well groomed. :-)

In other words they dont have the budget to train other than in sheds,well if we get a hostages held captive in a shed,they are the boys to call
Nice vids
Snipers, good, bet the Argies can wait for a rifle that can kill 350 miles off
Well impressed with the Benny hill chase, Argie special needs soldiers at their best
But an intervention from SAS should be welcomed...for two reasons:
1) an opportunity to “welcome” them, as DSE states.
2) example of colonialism, the roar around the world would be fantastic. Do it!
(in the negative side, the Kirchners would be reelected, as Old Thatcher was) :-(
SAS
KSK
Légion étrangère
And many other so called ”Supermen”after him but………
Osama and his forty thieves keep riding towards the sunset in their trusted dromedars, Jolly Humper I to XLI...............
Old veteran Apablaza could easily defeat and capture alive a whole commando group of those elite European turnip sprouts using only a pair of his unwashed socks :-)
The Argentine version states that their marines remained in shelters during the Glamorgan shelling, so they were unable to face the SAS in combat. The British wounded were the result of shrapnel from exploding charges settled by the Argentines under the airstrip in order to deny its use to the enemy. The blasts were triggered in the belief that the operation was a full-scale assault to take over the air base.
Argies must of used up all their stocks of unwashed socks,still no excuse thet had plenty of sh*t filled pants :-)
Don't be a silly little boy. The SAS wrote the book. And the addenda. and all the revisions.
Perhaps Pheel's answer have hit a nerve.
”But an intervention from SAS should be welcomed...for two reasons:

Yes, the SAS are the ones who invented the majority of the worlds counterterrorism tactics and have at one point or another, trained 90% of the worlds special forces. Down to the “killing house” recreation that your youtube video shows to the stungrenade that is the staple of the worlds special forces. There isn't another special forces group in the world who's record of successfull operations is even half as long as the SAS.
“So why don't you try it? Instead of talking bullshit try it. I'm sick of warmongers. I say again: try it.”
Dumb question is dumb.
But Osama and his forty thieves till ride towards the sunset in their trusted dromedars, Holly Humper I to XLI...............
Is that the best that you can do?. Your brain has been cloudy by the typical british fog. Wow man is a plague. Come on make an effort. Give me a valuable answer.
Oh I see you don't have it. And you started (and your tiny partners) to talk about a SAS operation in my country. 11 Typhoon: “Hello Chile. Would you like some assistance from, say, the SAS. They could almost certainly snatch him for you, or turn him into a non-event.”
An answer to - So why don't you try it?
Answer me: Why should we try it?
Go to war and kill eachother over an internet debate. Dumb question WAS dumb.
You got schooled. :-)
Goes to the special school
And them they say that we are the bullies.
So next time, tell your tiny friends that don't say stupid things and don't propose crap like this: 11 Typhoon: “Hello Chile. Would you like some assistance from, say, the SAS. They could almost certainly snatch him for you, or turn him into a non-event.”
You got schooled. :-)
Ps: I will wait for a phrase of THINK or Pheel.

You never confronted my arguments, you thought that the SAS would be ”schooled“ by your SF. After i provided information proving otherwise you bypassed that fact, quoted someone else, then told me i got ”schooled” because i'm not moderating other british posters.
You was insulted because your post was stupid.
They need a new source of money for filling the Big Hole. Rest of the World, red level alarm: they are looking for your resources as a source of financing, that´s has been their play for 500 years.
They will send “superior” special forces...survivors from Basra and Helmand “success”. (LTA, yes.)
Recently took out over 50 taliban commanders in two weeks.
That this number include Women and Children?................
Or is it only those bearded elderly elders......
Too bloody for my taste to make jokes about your “successes”...too many deads...but, please, land on earth.
The compass is lost, your goals are as clear as they were in Basra, so the results. As a brit hi-diplomat analyzing Karzai: “we appear to be in the wrong side”. You will give up sooner or later and a bloodbath will come to the area, the same than in Irak.
SAS or SOS can´t change that.
Or is it only those bearded elderly elders......
You Argies can give some advice on the matter
www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB77/
If the Taliban are being commanded by 12 year olds then possibly.
“If they have not been killed as you say, they are supposedly “survivors”. ”
By that definition the six billion people on this world are all “survivors”.
“You will give up sooner or later and a bloodbath will come to the area, the same than in Irak.”
Yes, we will. Both invasions had planned withdrawals and we plan on leaving Afghanistan in 2015 after the afghan army is trained to defend themselves against the taliban.
www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11419878
“The Americans decided to win. We decided to leave,” says retired senior British Gen Rob Fry.
Or believe what you want, it will not change reality.
Shame for the victims that you continue generating.
Reality was that the withdrawal from iraq was planned for years. Our UN mandate had ran out. Those are the facts.
“I don't know that you could see the British withdrawal from Basra in 2007 in any light other than a defeat,”
says Col Peter Mansoor, who was executive officer to Gen David Petraeus, the US commander in Iraq.
Petraeus..Petraeus...sounds familiar.
Planning next withdrawal ?
Kidding just in order to mutual understatement of what is happening with last INVASIONS of independent countries.
Not a bit of reflection or self-criticism about the role that UK has to abandon in world affairs? Or is it OK?
A defeat, however it was not. By it's definition a military defeat is:
the ultimate acceptance of cessation of combat by an armed force brought on through exhaustion of the troops, complete loss of cohesion, lack of weapons and equipment, significant interruption of logistic support or loss of effective military command. It is usually followed by a surrender of forces to the victorious enemy.
This, did not happen.
I am, and always was against the occupation of iraq. Did we decide to leave Iraq? absolutely. Was we forced to leave iraq? no.
Afghanistan, however. I do not feel any remorse over. I was on the Piccadilly line line when that bomb went off, i was lead through the pitch black tunnel with people screaming and crying people covered in blood.
Are we eventually going to leave Afghanistan? Yes. Theres only so much one can do.
Your personal moral justification for the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 and its continued destruction till this day is that three British citizens of Pakistani ancestry and one Jamaican guy bombed the London tube in 2005 and you had to walk through a dark tunnel?
Is that it?
There citizenship is a null point, this is one of the easiest nations in the world to gain one.
The main point we went to war, as you full well know is because of the 9/11 bomings, which had a large ammount of british deaths also.
We've never allowed terrorism, and we never will.
Let me just ask you three questions…………
If you were a young democratic Argentinean lad in the 70’s ....
Which side would you have been on?...... The Military Dictatorship Government or the terrorists?
If you were a black young Southafrican lad in the 80’s ....
Which side would you have been on?.....The White Apartheid Government or the terrorists?
If you were a normal young Afghan lad today.....
Which side would you be on?..... The Karzai Puppet Government or the terrorists?
The booze had maybe loosen your brainwash a little and allowed you to answer from the hearth................
“If you were a young democratic Argentinean lad in the 70’s ....
Which side would you have been on?...... The Military Dictatorship Government or the terrorists?”
Was there a difference think, between either?
“If you were a normal young Afghan lad today.....
Which side would you be on?..... The Karzai Puppet Government or the terrorists?”
By terrorists you obviously mean our troops, fair enough.
What you are asking me is if i would prefer an armed force who provides aid and protection when possible over a force who is willing to mass rape, kill and rob anyone i know, a force who is more then willing to blow anyone up if it makes a point, a force who thinks it's right to openly kill civilians if they can make a point.
Was your question rhetorical?
“If you were a normal young Afghan lad today”
Well it would be a choise between a force giving you aid and trying to help you over the taliban who have a direct profit over these farmers and are happy to blow them up or shoot them.
Again, the answer is obvious.
