The Other 9/11: Chile Marks 49 Years Since U.S.-Supported Coup Toppled Salvador Allende
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Chile, protesters marked another 9/11 Sunday: the 49th anniversary of
the U.S.-backed military coup that ousted democratically elected
Salvador Allende and led to a 17-year dictatorship led by General
Augusto Pinochet. Chile's President Gabriel Boric called for an
intensive search of people who disappeared after the 1973 coup.

President Gabriel Boric: "Let's relentlessly keep searching for the
detained and disappeared 1,192 - 1,192 detained who went missing and
that we still don't know where they are. This is unacceptable,
intolerable. We can't normalize it."
