Gen Pinochet under house arrest
Advertisements [?]
BBC

Chile's ex-military ruler, Gen Augusto Pinochet, has been formally put under house arrest, a day after the Supreme Court ruled he was fit to stand trial.

Court officials delivered the arrest order to the general at his country residence in central Chile.

Gen Pinochet faces charges of murder and kidnapping.

They relate to Operation Condor, a joint campaign by South American military governments in the 1970s to eliminate left-wing opponents.
