Asuncion, September 11 (RHC)-- Paraguay’s Justice Ministry has launched an investigation after human remains were found buried beneath a home that once belonged to the former dictator Alfredo Stroessner. 

Stroessner was a staunch U.S. ally who seized power in 1954, ruling Paraguay for 35 years.  Human rights groups say his regime murdered or disappeared hundreds of people as part of a campaign of torture and terror against political opponents. 

Alfredo Stroessner also provided a haven to several Nazi war criminals, including Dr. Josef Mengele, known as “The Angel of Death” at Auschwitz.
