Chilean Ex-Dictator Pinochet Arrested In London

                 By Paul Majendie

    LONDON (Reuters) - Former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet was
arrested in London Saturday by police acting on a request from Spain.

        A police spokeswoman said Pinochet, 82, had been arrested on an
extradition warrant filed by Spain in connection with allegations that
Pinochet murdered Spanish
citizens while he was in power between 1973 and 1990.

``His arrest has taken place on the specific request of the Spanish
authorities,'' she said.
