After the U.S. Ambassadors to Chile refused to deliver a demarche {610338} to the Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet on U.S. objections to a proposed assassination, the State Department decided not to act and as a result the former Chilean foreign minister, Orlando Letelier and his American assistant were murdered in Washington DC the next morning. This incident became known as the Condor scheme. Incredibly, for years the State Department covered up the fact that they had advance knowledge of a murder that was committed in the United States and did not act.
