Santiago - Chile's former dictator, Gen Augusto Pinochet, yesterday was taken to a military hospital in the capital city for medical checks and an adjustment to his heart pacemaker, sources said.
It was the fifth hospital visit that Gen Pinochet (84) has made in Chile since he returned home in early March after spending 503 days under arrest in Britain where he escaped extradition to Spain on grounds that he was too ill for trial on human rights charges.
