This undated photo shows Chile's former president Salvador Allende (R) with his then-army commander Gen. Augusto Pinochet (L) during a ceremony in Santiago. Pinochet overthrew Allende in the bloody 11 September 1973 military coup and ruled Chile with an iron fist until 1990 before returning to Chile's army command. Pinochet, now 82, who has been accused by leftist and human rights groups of genocide and human rights violations, is scheduled to retire from his post 10 March to take a lifetime senate seat as a former president according to the Chilean constitution.
