Pinochet killed a former Army Commander in Buenos Aires (the person who recommend him to Allende), a former Allende's Foreigns Affairs Secretary in Washington and tried to kill a former Frei Montalva's VicePresident in Rome. Yeah, GREAT foreing policy Wink

Off the topic but I thought Chile doesn't have a Vice President.

Not at all times, but whenever the President is unable to perform his duties, he resigns or he is away from the country, the most senior cabinet member takes the role of Vice-President in the meantime. Frei travelled a lot around the world, and Bernardo Leighton, as the Interior Minister, had to take the Vice-President role four times. Pinochet and the DINA contacted a group of Neo-Fascists in Italy and they hired them to murder Leighton, a powerful voice in the DC against the military government. Leighton was shot, but he survived.

NOTE: We actually had Vice-Presidents from 1823 to 1833, Diego Portales eliminated the office for he believed it to be useless.

Thanks, the thing was puzzling me Smiley
