<p>JP Serre, in his june 1999 Bourbaki talk "Sous-groupes finis des groupes de Lie", gives the following two references for torsion in Lie groups</p> <p>R. STEINBERG - Torsion in reductive groups, Adv. in Math. 15 (1975), 63-92</p> <p>and</p> <p>A. BOREL - Sous-groupes commutatifs et torsion des groupes de Lie compacts connexes, T^ohoku Math. J. 13 (1961), 216-240.</p> <p>Btw, the Bourbaki talk is on Serre's College de France page </p> <p><a href="http://www.college-de-france.fr/media/ins%5Fpro/UPL61366%5FSerre%5FBourbaki%5F864.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.college-de-france.fr/media/ins_pro/UPL61366_Serre_Bourbaki_864.pdf</a></p> <p>Hope this helps.</p>
