Judge 'orders arrest of Pinochet'

Judge 'orders arrest of Pinochet'

Pinochet could be placed under house arrest

A judge has ordered the arrest of Chile's former military leader, Augusto Pinochet, over crimes committed at a detention centre, sources say.

Judge Alejandro Solis requested the arrest of Gen Pinochet, 90, for 36 cases of kidnap, one of homicide and for 23 cases of torture.

The crimes allegedly took place in the years following his 1973 coup.

The Villa Grimaldi centre was run by his secret police, where thousands were tortured between 1974 and 1977.

Gen Pinochet will be placed under house arrest at his home on Monday, the Reuters news agency reported.

2. Message to the next Democratic Speaker of the House...
It shouldn't have taken this long to issue a warrant for Pinochet's arrest.

It shouldn't take this long for charges to be brought against Bush and Cheney.
