Chile Marks 43rd Anniversary of September 11 Coup d'État
--------------------------------------------------------

In Chile's capital Santiago, thousands marched to the city's main
cemetery on Sunday to mourn victims of the former dictatorship. On
September 11, 1973, democratically elected President Salvador Allende
died in the palace in a U.S.-backed coup, ushering in 17 years of brutal
dictatorship under Augusto Pinochet.
