SANTIAGO, Chile – Gen. Augusto Pinochet, who overthrew Chile's democratically elected Marxist president in a bloody coup and ruled this Andean nation for 17 years, died today, dashing hopes of victims of his regime's abuses that he would be brought to justice. He was 91.
He died of a heart attack and now there is no chance of him being held to account for the estimated 3,197 victims said to have been killed by him for purely political reasons.
Lets hope the country never suffers such a despot again.
