Paraguay: no money to identify dictatorship dead (AP)

ASUNCION, Paraguay ? Human rights groups say they have found bones that probably belong to victims of Paraguay's past dictatorship, but have no money to identify them.

The independent group known as Truth and Justice says it found new burial sites at a police barracks where prisoners were illegally held under the dictatorship of Gen. Alfredo Stroessner from 1954 to 1989. Remains of 12 bodies have now been found there since 2006.

But activist Martin Almada says the group cannot afford the DNA tests needed to identify them.

Almada directs the Museum of Horror, which displays tools and techniques of torture used under Stroessner.

He says hundreds of political opponents may have been killed by the regime.
