Pinochet had more US bank accounts: report


SANTIAGO : Former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet held at least five more secret bank accounts in the United States, in addition to the eight already discovered at Riggs Bank in Washington.

According to eyewitnesses, the two were set ablaze by soldiers and beaten while they burned. Their bodies were then wrapped in blankets and dumped in a ditch miles away. Witnesses who spoke out about what they saw were beaten and arrested. Such events are not unusual since "Captain General" Augusto Pinochet seized power from democratically elected President Salvador Allende in 1973, and buried Chile's 150 year old democracy.
