Spain Court Approves Autopsy On Angolan Ex-president

A court in Barcelona has authorized an autopsy to be carried out on the body of the former Angolan president, Jose Eduardo dos Santos. <br />The autopsy was requested by the late president's daughter, Tchize dos Santos. <br />She has spoken of a conspiracy to kill her father to prevent him from supporting the opposition in the upcoming Angolan elections. <br />Lawyers for the Dos Santos family have denounced moves by the Angolan government to return the body to Angola for a state funeral, against the ex-president's expressed wish to be buried privately in Spain.
