The widow of legendary Chilean poet, theatre director, folk singer, and activist Victor Jara (left), who was brutally tortured and killed by Chilean army officers shortly after a coup in the South American country, is asking the United States to extradite a man identified as one of the men who killed her husband in 1973. The suspect, Pedro Barrientos, is a former Chilean army lieutenant who has been living a quiet life in Florida as a used car salesman, according to a 2012 Chilean TV news investigation.
