Siblings divided by `dirty war’ reunited

A brother and sister who were separated in 1975 during the Mexican government’s crackdown on leftist activists have been reunited after 30 years, authorities announced Tuesday.
Aleida Gallangos Vargas last week met her brother, Juan Carlos Hernandez, in the United States after a search supported by investigators of Mexico’s “dirty war,” a government crackdown on leftist activists.
Hernandez was adopted and renamed by a Mexican family at age 4. He disappeared in the wake of a government raid on a Mexico City safe house for the guerrilla group the 23rd of September League.
