Former Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega, who spied for the CIA before his brutal drug trafficking regime sparked a U.S. invasion in 1989, has died aged 83. President Juan Carlos Varela announced Noriega's death on Twitter late on May 29, and said his passing marked the closing of a chapter in Panama's history.
