Argentina's EAAF forensic anthropology team said that it identified the remains of a Cuban diplomat abducted 36 years ago by agents of the South American nation's 1976-1983 military regimes.
What turned out to be the remains of Crescencio Nicomedes Galañena Hernandez were discovered in June by some boys who spotted bones sticking out of cement-filled barrels while playing on a field in the Buenos Aires suburb of San Fernando.
The remains were then tested against a DNA database of people who were "disappeared" by the junta, the EAAF said.
