In international news, a Chilean Air Force plane believed to be carrying former dictator Augusto Pinochet landed at Santiago’s International Airport. Pinochet left Britain yesterday after that nation’s top law enforcement official ruled that the eighty-four-year-old former dictator was physically and mentally unfit to stand trial on charges of human rights abuses.

Relatives of the victims of Pinochet’s 1973 to 1990 regime are disappointed at Britain’s decision. They say they’ll try to have him prosecuted in Chile. As a Chilean senator, Pinochet enjoys immunity from prosecution, but human rights lawyers have requested that his immunity be lifted. One of the lawyers predicts a court ruling in about a month. Chilean law doesn’t exempt sick people from trial unless they’re certified as deeply mad.
