Manuel Noriega, a Panamanian colonel who made himself a general officer, and later became the dictator of his country, until removed in an American military invasion, has died at the age of 83, following an operation to remove a brain tumor. Noriega, who was serving a lengthy sentence in Panama, for multiple crimes, including murder, was convicted of money laundering, in both the US and France, and was imprisoned in both countries.
