Dig Could Turn Up Spanish Poet's Remains
The BBC reports that a dig may find the remains of Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca. The excavation is taking place in a remote spot between the Andalucian villages of Viznar and Alfacar. It is where Lorca is believed to have been murdered at the start of the Spanish Civil War. A historian believe his body could determine if he was tortured before he died.
"If they discover him it will lay a ghost to rest," says Ian Gibson, a Madrid-based historian who has penned a biography on Lorca.
"Through finding him, we will learn more. I think he was tortured before they finished him off.
"There may be bullets inside the grave, and who knows what else. It is vital that we find and open it."
