概要
A car detonated on Embassy Row on September 21, 1976, killing Orlando Letelier and Ronni Moffitt in an attack that used a radio-controlled bomb placed under the driver's seat. A single shouted word - "DINA" - scrawled into the chaos, and the trigger was handed off to others before the bomb-maker left the country; who actually pressed the button remains unanswered. Who walked away knowing a man would die in the capital of the United States?
In this episode, we recount the scene, the players, and the chain of decisions that led to a public assassination in Washington D.C., following the clues from the initial investigators to the links that point to a foreign secret police program. How did a former ambassador with a briefcase become a target, and why did the operation rely on a remote trigger?
Date: September 21, 1976
Location: Embassy Row, Washington D.C.
Person: Orlando Letelier
Person: Ronni Moffitt
