Letelier was a former Chilean ambassador living in exile in the United States and was on his way to work will Moffitt and her husband when the bomb went off.  Moffitts husband, Michael was the only survivor. The assassination was perpetrated by agents of the Chilean secret police (the DINA), and was one among many carried out as part of Operation Condor. Declassified U.S. intelligence documents confirm that Pinochet directly ordered the killing.  Letterer was appointed as the Chilean Ambassador to the U.S. under President Salvador Allende but the tides turned after a military coup, putting Pinochet into power.   The assassination came on the orders of President Pinochet of Chile.  It's the only state-sponsored act of terrorism on US soil, that we know of.
