text: Former Chilean dictator Pinochet dies at 91
  
  December 11, 2006 
  
  The former Chilean dictator, General Augusto Pinochet, died yesterday in a military hospital in Santiago de Chile. 
  Pinochet died at 2:15 p.m. (1715 GMT), surrounded by his family. A brief announcement by the hospital said Pinochet's condition had worsened suddenly following a heart attack on December 3. Earlier in the week he was reported to be recovering from the heart failure. 
  In 1973 Augusto Pinochet took power in a US-assisted coup against Chile's democratically elected president, Salvador Allende Gossens, who died in the first hours of the military takeover. His rule of terror, which he maintained by silencing all opposition, lasted 17 years and produced a national trauma that has still not fully healed.
