Pinochet indicted for bodyguard deaths

Chile’s former dictator General Augusto Pinochet has been indicted and ordered to remain under house arrest for the killing of two bodyguards of Salvador Allende, the freely-elected Marxist president he toppled in a 1973 coup.

The indictment follows Pinochet’s 91st birthday on Saturday, which he marked by issuing a statement for the first time taking full political responsibility for his regime’s actions.
