Chilean Intelligence Officers Sentenced for Killing Americans After '73 Coup 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Two former Chilean intelligence officials have been sentenced in the
murders of Charles Horman and Frank Teruggi, two U.S. citizens who were
killed shortly after the 1973 coup led by Gen. Augusto Pinochet. Retired
army intelligence officer Pedro Espinoza was sentenced to seven years in
prison. Rafael González, who worked for Chilean Air Force intelligence,
was sentenced to two years of police supervision. The Horman case
inspired the 1982 Costa-Gavras film, "Missing."
