He gave himself up to the British, then they shot him
Article Abstract:
Argentinian Oscar Carrizo, a corporal in the 7th Infantry Regiment of La Plata during the Falklands war in 1982, was wounded on Jun 12, 1982, after defending Mount Longdon. He had surrendered and a British paratrooper shot him in the head. He was left for dead but survived, blinded in one eye. He did not want to publicise this as he felt it was a personal experience, which he would prefer to forget. He was decorated and promoted to sergeant. In 1988 he retired from the army and worked as a guard in a private security firm. Carrizo was born in 1960 in Cubut, south Argentina.

'If Pinochet is not in Chile I will have to go to wherever he happens to be.'
Article Abstract:
It is important for former Chilean dictator General Augusto Pinochet to be tried in Chile, according to Judge Jaime Guzman, who has been pursuing his own judicial action against Pinochet in Chile. He wishes to show the rest of the world that there can be high standards of justice in Chile. He hopes that, as long as evidence of crimes committed on the orders of Pinochet can be found, it will be possible to formally charge Pinochet and ensure that he appears in court.
