DC Embassy Row Assassination Story w/ Dharma Bhatt

What if I tell you that 9/11 is not the first foreign state-sponsored terrorist attack on US soil?

Apparently, a National Security Archive blog highlights a forgotten foreign state-sponsored terrorist attack that took place in Washington, DC. The Leterlier-Moffitt Assassination took place in 1976, three years after Pinochet's 9/11 coup in 1973. The former Chilean Ambassador to the United States-- Orlando Letelier, who was a political refugee in 1976-- was assassinated on his way to work in Sheridan Circle. Listen to learn more about this story and its impact.
