Another 9/11 Anniversary: September 11, 1973, When US-Backed Pinochet Forces Took Power in Chile
While memorials were held across the US for the ninth anniversary of 9/11, we remember another 9/11: September 11th, 1973, when Salvador Allende, the democratically elected president of Chile, died in the palace as US-backed Pinochet forces rose to power.
