Argentina's Videla faces new murder charges

The former Argentine military leader, Jorge Rafael Videla, has been charged with an additional 49 cases of kidnapping, torture and murder.

Videla, who ruled from 1976 to 1981, is already serving a life sentence for human rights abuses committed during Argentina's so-called Dirty War.

The case against him was widened after new forensic evidence came to light.

He is also scheduled to face trial in September for stealing 33 babies of political opponents.
