Five former intelligence and military officials in Argentina have gone on trial on charges of murdering 65 people.
They are accused of kidnapping, torturing, and killing left-wing activists under the country's military rule between 1976 and 1983.
Human rights groups are hoping the trial will shed light on Operation Condor, a joint effort among South American military rulers aimed at suppressing opposition.
So far all five military officials have denied the charges.
