An Argentine judge freed the last of seven men jailed in a suspected right-wing plot to overthrow President Raul Alfonsin, but government lawyers quickly won a federal court appeal clearing the way for the re-arrest of three of the men under a state of siege imposed last week. The Interior Ministry said the appeals court reserved judgment on the government’s request to arrest the four others. Those who will be re-arrested, the Interior Ministry said in a statement, are Col. Pascual Guerreri, the army’s deputy chief of intelligence; Capt. Leopoldo Cao, an instructor at the military’s school, and Horacio Daniel Rodriguez, a rightist newspaper columnist for the La Prensa newspaper.
