Is the net tightening on Nazi 'Dr Death'? (BBC)

If he is still alive, former SS medical officer Aribert Heim is 93 years old, but his age will not protect the alleged Nazi war criminal from justice, vows Nazi-hunter Efraim Zuroff.

Mr Zuroff is in South America this week for the launch of Operation Last Chance, a scheme to flush out the remaining Nazi criminals who took refuge there in the postwar years.

But the investigators are working against time: most of the alleged criminals are in their late 80s or 90s.

The operation, already under way in Europe, offers potential informants a reward of $10,000 for any information that results in the conviction of a Nazi criminal.

Heim is the number one target in South America and the total bounty for his capture is $448,000.
