...telephone contacts occured only a short time after Townley arrived in the U.S. with an official passport falsely identifying him as Juan Williams Rose. He entered the country with Armando Fernandez Larios, a Chilean army captain whose official passport identified him as Alejandro Romeral Jara...
...pick Letelier up for work. They had driven his car home the night before because their own car wouldn't start. The three left the Letelier home at 9:15 a.m.--Michael Moffitt in the back seat, his wife and Letelier in the front. Just as they passed the Chilean embassy in downtown Washington a bomb exploded in the car. Both Letelier and Ronni Moffitt died shortly after their arrival at the hospital; Michael Moffitt escaped with a minor head wound and bruises...
...urgency of his duties. The pain is there, but it is forceably overcome. Moffitt, who joined the IPS, a Washington-based think tank, five year ago and worked under Richard Barnett before joining Letelier, says he always worried about an attempted assasination of Letelier--who was also a former Chilean foreign minister and defense minister--when they traveled but never entertained the possibility of anything happening in the U.S. In retrospect, however, Moffitt believes that it is logical that the assassination took place in the U.S. because of the history of U.S. involvement in Chile and because, he suggests someone...

He claims the middle class, members of which make up a large portion of the Christian Democrats Party (PDC), has been squeezed by Pinochet's rigid "free trade" Chicago school economic policies, and that there has been a split within the ruling junta. He suggests that there are people in the U.S. and in "influential circles" in Chile who would like to see Pinochet replaced by a government formed by General Gustavo Leigh, commander of the Chilean Air Force, and Eduardo Frei, former president...
