Arabic-Web-Suicide or not? Chile digs up Allende's past

  • 13 years ago
The history of Chile still has an unfinished past chapter. The death in 1973 of president Salvador Allende, in the midst of a military coup that brought Augusto Pinochet to power, has long been considered a suicide. Now, after 38 years, a judge has ordered the exhumation of Allende's remains to determine whether he may, in fact, have been executed by the putschists. The findings could have a lasting influence on the legacy of the nation's sole Marxist leader. A natural sound AFPTV report.
