Topic: Operation Condor (disambiguation)


  
  Operation Condor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Operation Condor (Spanish: Operación Cóndor, Portuguese: Operação Condor) was a campaign of assassination, counter-terrorism, and intelligence operations implemented by right-wing military dictatorships that -from circa 1950 to 1980s- dominated the Southern Cone in Latin America.
In light of the Cold War, Operation Condor was given at least tacit approval by the United States, due to fear of Marxist revolution in the region.
Augusto Pinochet is in the process of judgement, not for his involvement in Operation Condor (the Supreme Court rejected the possibility to judge him), but for his responsibilities in Operation Colombo and charges of tax evasion.
