Chilean judge charges ex-US military officer (AP)

SANTIAGO, Chile ? A Chilean judge investigating abuses during the dictatorship of Gen. Augusto Pinochet is seeking the extradition of a former U.S. military officer in the 1973 killing of two Americans.

A court official tells The Associated Press that former U.S. Navy officer Ray Davis has been charged in the killings of journalist Charles Horman and American student Frank Teruggi. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly.

Judge Jorge Zepeda is investigating human rights violations during Pinochet's rule from 1973 to 1990. The court official says Zepeda has asked the Supreme Court to authorize an extradition request.

The killing of Horman was the focus of the 1982 film "Missing."
