A Chilean judge sentenced the former secret intelligence chief for Gen. Augusto Pinochet to two life terms for the 1974 murder of Carlos Prat, former commander in chief of the Chilean Army, and his wife, Sofia Cuthbert. They were killed when a bomb placed under their car exploded as they returned home to their apartment in Buenos Aires. Judge Alejandro Solis sentenced Manuel Contreras, the former director of the intelligence service, known as DINA, and seven other military and civilian agents involved with the intelligence service.
