RIGHTS-CHILE:
Pinochet Caught in the Condor's Nest
 An appeals court in Chile opened the door Friday to clarifying the role played by former dictator Augusto Pinochet (1973-1990) in the creation of Operation Condor, a coordinated effort by South American military dictatorships to eliminate opponents in the 1970s and 1980s.

In a surprise decision, the full Santiago appeals court voted 14 to nine to lift the 88-year-old retired general's immunity from prosecution, clearing the way for him to testify in a case heard by Judge Juan Guzmán involving human rights lawsuits filed in 1998.

The details of the ruling will be released next week, and Pinochet's defence lawyers will immediately appeal the decision to the Supreme Court, which on Jul. 1, 2002 declared him mentally unfit to stand trial in connection with another case, based on a diagnosis of mild senility.  >>more
