On September 21, 1976, at roughly 9:35 AM, a massive explosion pierced the quiet Washington DC air at Sheridan Circle. A bomb placed under their vehicle killed exiled Chilean Ambassador Orlando Letelier and his colleague, Ronni Moffitt. The murder corresponds to a shady campaign of terror called Operation Condor, which ultimately traces back to the United States government and Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet himself. In this episode, we discuss the life and death of Orlando Letelier, and the socialist politics that made him a target for assassination on US soil.
