Ex-U.S. Navy Officer Indicted for 1973 Deaths of U.S. Citizens in Chile 
------------------------------------------------------------------------



In Chile, a former U.S. Navy officer has been indicted for his alleged
role in the killings of two other U.S. citizens shortly after the 1973
military coup. The officer, Ray Davis, headed the U.S. Military Group at
the U.S. embassy in Santiago at the time. He is accused of supplying
information on the victims — Charles Horman and Frank Teruggi
— to the Chilean military and then failing to prevent their
murders. The judge in the case has asked for authorization to seek
Davis' extradition to Chile.
