Operació Còndor : terror d'Estat

Operation Condor: State Terrorism

A special one-hour report from the “30 Minutes” news program, "Operation Condor" deals with the secret alliance of Latin American dictatorships created in the 1970's to eradicate left-wing opposition both at home and abroad. The arrest of Augusto Pinochet in London in 1998 for crimes against humanity committed under Operation Condor led the Clinton Administration to declassify confidential U.S. documents relating to Chile of that time and the Pinochet regime. This report is the result of an in-depth investigation drawing on three main sources: official U.S. declassified material, documentation from the secret services and secret police of Chile, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and Brazil conserved at the Palace of Justice in Asuncion, Paraguay, known as the "Archive of Terror", and more than 40 interviews with people in Latin America and the United States. The report also includes excerpts from a video used by Pinochet’s secret police to indoctrinate its members and explain operations leading to the death of “subversives” seeking to overthrow the “supreme government”. This is the first time this material has ever been shown on television.
