Former Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega, who spied for the CIA before his drug trafficking and brutal regime sparked a U.S. invasion in 1989, has died aged 83. Noriega was initially sentenced in the United States in 1992 but was serving a sentence for murder in Panama when he died. Noriega spent the rest of his life in custody between the United States, France and Panama for crimes ranging from murder to racketeering and drug-running. After his capture, Noriega tried to turn the tables on the United States, saying it had worked hand in glove with him.
