Names of 34 alleged Nazi war criminals who are living in Britain will be turned over to British authorities, Scottish Television said. The station said it obtained the list from sources in Eastern Europe. The list is in addition to the 17 names of alleged Nazi war criminals turned over to Britain last fall by the Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies in Los Angeles, the station said. Six people on the Wiesenthal list still live in Britain, Home Secretary Douglas Hurd said. British law does not cover crimes committed before the suspects came to Britain unless they made false declarations to obtain citizenship.
