Former Panamanian strongman Manuel Noriega has asked for forgiveness for crimes committed during his military regime, which culminated in the 1989 invasion of Panama by his previous ally, the United States. From prison, he said: “I ask forgiveness from any person who feels they were offended, affected, damaged or humiliated by my actions or that of my superiors in the carrying out of orders or of my subordinates during the time I was in charge of the civil-military government.” teleSUR
