Babies' theft during the military dictatorship was a “plan”, said Abrams

Former US deputy secretary of State, Eliot Abrams, declared to the Argentine Justice that Ronald Reagan's government considered babies' theft had been carefully planned since  babies were handed over to families loyal to the military.

"This was the worst case among the Latin American and Asian military dictatorships and regimes of the times, registered during the Reagan republican government .

He also said he had suggested the then Argentine Ambassador, Lucio García del Solar "to make the Church take part in the solution of the issue”

Abrams main concern focused on the live babies, their original families considered missing or dead.

He then wrote a memo of the meeting,  declassified in 2002, which served the “mothers' “ lawyer, Alan Iud, to summon him to declare about "the systematic plan of babies' robbery.".

Abrams, is currently political counselor for the Middle East.
