SANTIAGO, Chile, July 18 (UPI) -- Two ex-Chilean Air Force colonels have been charged with causing the death of Gen. Alberto Bachelet after the coup that brought Gen. Augusto Pinochet to power.
Bachelet, who was charged with treason because he opposed the 1974 coup, was the father of Michelle Bachelet, who later became president of Chile. Ramon Caceres Jorquera and Edgar Ceballos Jones commanded the Air Force Academy, where Gen. Bachelet was tortured, The Santiago Times reported.
