Former Chilean Dictator Pinochet Dies

UPDATED: New link, now to the AP story on his death.

The AP is reporting that former Chilean dictator General Augusto Pinochet died today at 2:15 p.m. (1715 GMT). This information comes from Santiago Military hospital where the 91-year-old was recovering from a recent heart attack.

It is unfortunate that Pinochet will never be tried for the crimes of his dictatorship, but at least he admitted he was responsible for many of the regime's atrocities shortly before his death.
