Miguel Nazar Haro (circa 1924 – 26 January 2012) was the head of Mexico's Dirección Federal de Seguridad (Federal Security Directorate) from 1978 to 1982. Nazar Haro and the Directorate were involved in the Mexican government's so called Dirty War against leftist insurgents, social movements and the government's political opposition. Nazar Haro was arrested in 2004 on charges stemming from the disappearance of a group of alleged guerillas. In 2006, these charges were dropped.[1][2]
