London - Gen Augusto Pinochet must wait to learn whether he will be extradited from Britain to Spain to face trial on allegations of genocide, terrorism and torture. The House of Lords yesterday reserved judgment on an appeal, on behalf of the Spanish authorities, against a High Court ruling quashing the former Chilean dictator's arrest. The Law Lords gave no indication as to when they will hand down the ruling.
