Argentina suspends Astiz release
An Argentine court has suspended its decision to release Alfredo Astiz and a number of other men charged with murder and torture during its "Dirty War".

The criminal court ordered 14 men freed on Thursday, having been held without conviction for over two years.

The decision was met with public outcry and prosecutors argued they were likely to flee, prompting a change of heart.

An ex-navy captain known as the "Blond Angel of Death", Mr Astiz is linked to the disappearance of dozens of people.
