High Court Authorizes Questioning of Kissinger
Chile’s Supreme Court has authorized an investigating judge to submit questions to former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger about the assassination of an American filmmaker during Gen. Augusto Pinochet’s rule.
Judge Juan Guzman, who has sought unsuccessfully to try Pinochet on human rights charges, wants to question Kissinger as part of his probe into the death of Charles Horman, who was killed shortly after the dictator seized power.
Lawyers in the case said they were prompted by CIA and State Department documents declassified by the Clinton administration.
