Jorge Rafael Videla, a general during Argentina's "dirty war," died in prison Friday. He was 87 years old.
Videla was serving life in prison for crimes against humanity committed while he was the head of the military junta that ruled Argentina from 1976 until 1983.
The period of dictatorship saw at least 15,000 people tortured and killed, though human rights groups cite the death toll at around 30,000.
