Demonstrations commemorating the 36th anniversary of the 9/11/73 military coup in Chile that ended the Socialist government of President Salvador Allende left three dead, 19 policemen wounded, more than 200 arrested and millions of pesos in property damage.
Santiago businesses lost millions Friday as looters descended on supermarkets and gas stations. Fifty people stole more than 36,000 US dollars from Fundacion Rodelillo, a non-profit foundation.
