Galtieri was being held at a military jail a day after a warrant was issued for his arrest, accusing him of taking part in the abduction, torture and execution of some 20 leftist guerrillas and other dissidents. The 72-year-old general, who led Argentina to war with Britain over the Falkland Islands in 1982, was the third of four presidents to serve during the military's rule. He was picked up at his suburban Buenos Aires home and driven under heavy guard to the jail on the city's outskirts. Federal Judge Claudio Bonadio also ordered the arrest of 42 other former military and state security officials, including General Carlos Guillermo Suarez Mason and former army chief General Cristino Nicolaides. Both men presided over military battalions accused of widespread atrocities during the seven-year dictatorship. A military spokesman refused to comment on Galtieri's detention. Galtieri's arrest revived public scrutiny of a dark chapter in which some 9 thousand leftist dissidents were officially reported as killed or missing after a systematic state crackdown. Human rights groups put the toll at up to 30 thousand. Galtieri was appointed president in November, 1981, and eight months later ordered Argentine troops to invade the Falkland Islands in a bid to reclaim the British colony in the South Atlantic Ocean, which Argentina claims it inherited from the Spanish crown. The two countries fought a 78-day war during which more than 700 Argentines and 255 British were killed. Argentina's swift defeat hastened the fall of the military dictatorship and the restoration of democracy. Many of the military's top leaders and other officers who served during the Dirty War are already under house arrest on charges of kidnapping children belonging to mothers who "disappeared" during the military's six-year rule. Galtieri's lawyers had no immediate comment on the arrest.
