Ex-Panama dictator Noriega asks for forgiveness

PANAMA CITY (Reuters) - Former dictator Manuel Noriega on Wednesday asked Panama to forgive the military leaders that ruled the Central American country for two decades before their eventual overthrow after a U.S. military invasion in 1989.

The octogenarian, who has been in prison for 26 years and still faces several charges of human rights abuses during his six years in power, said he wanted to "close the cycle of the military era".

"I am asking for forgiveness from all the people who were offended, affected, hurt or humiliated by my actions or those of my superiors in compliance with orders, or those of my subordinates," he said in a prepared statement to a local television station.

(...SNIPPED)
