AP/ M.HERALD
A program on state channel TVN reported that a long-secret copy of a 300-page military review shows that former President Salvador Allende may have been assassinated...and did not kill himself during a 1973 coup.
Two experts told TVN they believe that Allende was shot first in the face with a small-caliber weapon...and later had his skull top blown away with a AK-47.
Allende's daughter Sen Isabel Allende was furious about the report before the investigation had been officially resolved.
"TVN is speculating in the middle of a judicial process where only the scientific investigation of his remains will reach a conclusive review," Allende Twittered.
AND: The government says it will examine claims by poet Pablo Neruda's driver that agents for General Augusto Pinochet injected poison into 69-year-old Nobel prize-winning poet's stomach (above) on the day he died...just 12 days after a 23 September 1973 coup.
