Augusto Pinochet will be remembered as ______. [br] [originaltext] Chile sa

Chile says former dictator Augusto Pinochet will be honored as a former army chief but not as a head of the state. General Pianchet died of complications of a heart attack Sunday at a military hospital in Santiago. He was 91. A government spokesman says the general’s funeral on Tuesday will be with full military honors but there will be no state funeral or a national period of mourning. General Pinochet remained the polarizing figure in Chile. Some viewed him as the hero who saved the nation from Communism, while others viewed him as a criminal who connected a string of human rights abuses during his 17-year rule.
