BUENOS AIRES -- Argentina said Tuesday it has sent Spain an extradition request for former President Isabel Peron, who is wanted for questioning about a disappearance that occurred when death squads terrorized the country during her rule.
The Foreign Ministry said extradition papers were sent at the request of Federal Judge Raul Acosta in Mendoza, who last month ordered Isabel Peron detained for questioning about the February 1976 disappearance of leftist Hector Aldo Fagetti Gallego.

Isabel Peron also is being investigated by a federal judge in Buenos Aires who said he is focusing on death squad activity predating the 1976 coup...
