Mexico City (AFP) - Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said Friday that he will open up national archives showing how intelligence agencies targeted activists and opposition groups during the country's "dirty war."

"They will be opened up so that citizens can have access to them, above all investigators. It is a part of our program to strength our national historic memory," said the president, commonly known as AMLO.

The documents belong to the National Center for Investigation and Security (CISEN) and are housed in the Lecumberri national archive, a former prison in the capital where numerous opposition figures, including members of the 1968 student movement, were once incarcerated.
