Augusto Pinochet
General Augusto Pinochet led a military coup in Chile on 11 September 1973 in which President Salvador Allende was killed. Pinochet ordered the killing of more than 3,000 Allende supporters in 1974 before appointing himself President in 1974, retaining the post until 1990. He was arrested in London in 1990, but two years later he was allowed to return to Chile where he died in 2006.[1]
