FYI, as this happens to be news right now: The husband of the 
aforementioned Chilean author Maria Callejas, Michael Townley, 
professional killer in the service of DINA and probably the CIA, 
assassinated opposition leader in exile Orlando Letelier in Washington 
D.C. in 1976. It was the most spectacular assassination linked to 
Operation Condor, not least because the murder took place on American soil.

The US government has just revealed that Margaret Thatcher's and Franz 
Josef Strauss' favourite fascist and cocaine dealer Augusto Pinochet 
personally ordered the assassination of Letelier:
