| Chile's Pinochet dies at 91 |
The New Zealand Herald, Monday December 11, 2006
SANTIAGO, Chile - Ex-president Augusto Pinochet, who ruled Chile from 1973-1990, has died a week after suffering a heart attack, a military doctor said today.
"He died surrounded by his family," Dr. Juan Ignacio Vergara told reporters outside the hospital.
"Later this afternoon, we will give more details," he said.
Pinochet, 91, who was diabetic and had been in frail health for years, underwent bypass surgery after the December 3 heart attack. He was given Roman Catholic last rites and his son said the surgery had brought him back from the brink of death.
Pinochet was under house arrest at the time of his recent heart attack, accused in the deaths of two bodyguards of former Chilean President Salvador Allende, who he ousted in a coup.
The charges were the latest in a series against Pinochet, who issued a statement last month on his 91st birthday suggesting he realised his death could be near.
He spent his old age fighting human rights, fraud and corruption charges
"Today, close to the end of my days, I want to make clear that I hold no rancour towards anybody, that I love my country above all else," he said in a statement read by his wife on his 91st birthday last month.
In the statement, he accepted "political responsibility" for acts committed during his rule.
Pinochet grabbed power in a coup and went on to become the best known of the South American dictators of the 1970s and 1980s. Under his regime more than 3,000 people died in political violence, many at the hands of repressive secret police.
He was accused of dozens of human rights violations but a lengthy effort to bring him to trial in Chile failed as his defence lawyers successfully argued that he was too ill to face charges.
Despite Pinochet's human rights record, many Chileans loved him and said he saved Chile from Marxism.
But even many loyal supporters abandoned him after it came out in 2004 that he had stashed some $27 million (14 million pounds) in secret off-shore bank accounts that were under investigation at the time of his death.
Five facts about Pinochet:
* Pinochet was the army's commander-in-chief when he assumed power in Chile in a violent US-supported coup that began Sept. 11, 1973, and ousted Marxist President Salvador Allende. Allende killed himself during the coup.
* Some 3000 people died in political violence during Pinochet's 1973-1990 rule, while tens of thousands were tortured and an estimated 200,000 went into exile.
* Pinochet was voted out in a 1988 referendum and stepped down in 1990, but stayed on as head of the armed forces and took a seat as a lifetime senator under a clause he had added to the constitution.
* In 1998 a Spanish judge called for Pinochet's extradition to stand trial in Spain on grounds that some of the victims of his regime were Spaniards. Pinochet was in London at the time and spent 17 months under house arrest before Britain returned him to Chile due to ill health. He also faced suits at home from the families of people killed by Chile's secret police.
* On his 91st birthday on November 25, 2006, Pinochet issued a statement accepting "political responsibility" for acts committed during his rule but said his only motive was to make Chile "a great place and prevent its disintegration."
