EXCLUSIVE TO THE SPOTLIGHT By Lawrence Wilmot
|
|
|
|
Murder on a major or minor scale - whether it involved "terminating" an
|
|
individual target or decimating an unruly population - is a routine tactic of
|
|
the CIA. Although theoretically prohibited by law from killing anyone, the CIA
|
|
may well have been responsible directly and indirectly for more violent deaths
|
|
over the past 45 years than the U.S. Army, cold-war historians suggest. One
|
|
former CIA officer, John Stockwell, claims the agency's worldwide covert
|
|
actions have cost "millions of lives." An updated roster of the CIA's victims
|
|
would fill hundreds of pages, a SPOTLIGHT reporter exploring the subject
|
|
discovered recently. Among the agency's best-known assassination targets:
|
|
|
|
- In June, 1959, Col. Ahmad Bukkiting, an Indonesian officer, was waylaid and
|
|
murdered in his car in Central Sumatra. He was reportedly suspected of trying
|
|
to drop out of a CIA-organized military coup against Indonesia's Sukarno
|
|
government.
|
|
|
|
- On January 17, 1961, Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba of the Congo (now Zaire)
|
|
was murdered by indigenous forces paid and armed by the CIA. The official
|
|
explanation: Lumumba was "a Soviet pawn." The real reason: A financial
|
|
consortium controlled by David Rockefeller had set its sights on the region's
|
|
rich mineral resources. A compliant and utterly corrupt leader was installed,
|
|
Mobutu Sese Seko, whose legendary skimming of foreign aid has turned him into
|
|
one of the world's wealthiest men.
|
|
|
|
- In May, 1961, Gen. Rafael Leonidas Trujillo, the long-ruling strongman of
|
|
the Dominican Republic known as a pro-U.S. nationalist, was shot to death in
|
|
his chauffeur-driven limousine by a hit team of local officials recruited and
|
|
armed by the CIA. The official explanation: Trujillo was a "human rights"
|
|
offender who tended to "terminate" his rivals. The real reason: One of the
|
|
enemies liquidated by Trujillo, Dr. Jesus Galindez, was a key CIA undercover
|
|
agent.
|
|
|
|
- In 1961-62, the CIA organized several strikes against Dr. Francois
|
|
"Papa Doc" Duvalier, Haiti's sinister dictator. He survived, but a hit team
|
|
headed by Clement Barbot, who had been a Haitian presidential bodyguard before
|
|
he went to work for the CIA, managed to kill one of Duvalier's daughters and
|
|
members of his staff. The reason: White House fears that Duvalier was a
|
|
dangerous madman.
|
|
|
|
- South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem was assassinated along with his
|
|
brother, Ngo Dinh Ngu, by the CIA in 1963, reportedly on direct orders from
|
|
the White House.
|
|
|
|
- On November 22, 1963, during a visit to Dallas, President John F. Kennedy
|
|
came under the guns of a hit team whose trail has been traced to the CIA. The
|
|
same day, the CIA's chief of clandestine services, Desmond FitzGerald, held a
|
|
secret meeting in a Paris hotel room to hand a Cuban contact a poison-tipped
|
|
ball-point pen designed to kill Cuban President Fidel Castro. Kennedy died;
|
|
the communist dictator survived the CIA's assassination attempt.
|
|
|
|
- In March, 1965, a French inspection team headed by Col. Roger de Tassigny
|
|
traveled through Laos and Vietnam gathering evidence on the booming narcotics
|
|
trade supervised and protected by CIA agents. Departing Saigon in a U.S.
|
|
helicopter, they were killed in a mid-air explosion. The official explanation:
|
|
an accident. The real reason: The CIA saw the investigation as a threat and an
|
|
attempt to sabotage its covert networks throughout Indochina.
|
|
|
|
- Salvador Allende, president of Chile, was overthrown and killed during a
|
|
CIA-engineered coup in 1973, in which the intelligence agency conspired with
|
|
Chilean military officers to murder the president and install a military junta.
|
|
|
|
- In June, 1973, Rodolfo "El Cojo" Cisneros and Mario Avila, the reputed
|
|
leaders of a Mexican marijuana gang, were shot to death in Panama. Their
|
|
murders were part of a top-secret CIA operation code named "Deacon II,"
|
|
designed to "eliminate narcotics kingpins beyond the reach of conventional
|
|
U.S. law enforcement," in which more than a dozen drug suspects were
|
|
reportedly killed.
|
|
|
|
- Chilean diplomat Orlando Letelier, in exile from his country after the coup
|
|
for his criticism of the CIA's takeover, was killed in a 1976 car bombing in
|
|
Washington. All signs point to a CIA hit in the heart of the nation's capital.
|
|
|
|
- In January, 1978, a team of CIA operatives smuggled a bomb aboard a Cuban
|
|
airliner making a refueling stop in Barbados. The plane exploded shortly after
|
|
takeoff, killing all 83 aboard. The official explanation: The bomb was
|
|
supposed to go off while the airliner was still on the ground, causing heavy
|
|
damage but no loss of life, but accidentally went off late. The truth: The
|
|
explosives detonated on schedule. The CIA had no regrets for Cuban casualties.
|
|
|
|
- On January 26, 1980, Francis John Nugan, chairman of the Nugan Hand Bank,
|
|
was found shot to death in his Mercedes limousine in Lithgow, Australia.
|
|
Nugan's murder - he was found to have been a clandestine CIA money broker and
|
|
arms smuggler - is now attributed to the CIA by Australian authorities.
|
|
|
|
- In retaliation for what it assumed to be Iranian support
|
|
for the resurgence of militant Moslems - particularly in Lebanon, where
|
|
American hostages included William Buckley, the local station chief of the
|
|
agency - the CIA waged a sustained campaign of terrorism and assassination
|
|
against Iran from 1981 through 1990. At least 14 key members and religious
|
|
leaders of Iran's fundamentalist government were killed or gravely injured.
|
|
The agency denied involvement.
|
|
|
|
- As part of this campaign mentioned above, the CIA tried to kill Sheisk
|
|
Mohammed Fadlallah, spiritual leader of a faction suspected of kidnapping
|
|
Americans, in 1986 with a massive carbomb. The sheik escaped, but 80
|
|
bystanders were killed.
|
|
|
|
- In October, 1987, Rolando Maferrer, an exiled Cuban arms dealer and
|
|
right-wing militant, was killed by a car bomb in Miami. After years of
|
|
investigation, his murder has now been linked to the CIA.
|
|
|
|
- On August 11, 1988, Malcolm McHugh, a Canadian arms dealer, was killed by a
|
|
gunshot in his Brussels apartment. He had reportedly surprised a team of CIA
|
|
burglars going through his files in search of evidence of illicit trade with
|
|
Cuba.
|
|
|
|
- On August 17, 1988, Gen. Zia ul-Haq, Pakistan's president and military
|
|
strongman, died in a mid-air explosion of his aircraft. His death came after a
|
|
sharp dispute between his government and the CIA over conduct of the civil war
|
|
in Afghanistan bogged down in a bitter deadlock, and is now generally ascribed
|
|
to the agency by Pakistani investigators.
|
|
|
|
- In October, 1989, Whitman Conte, an American pilot, was killed in South
|
|
Africa by a bomb hidden in the luggage compartment of his small plane. Long
|
|
involved in CIA-sponsored diamond-smuggling flights, Conte was reportedly
|
|
preparing to sell his story to the media when he was silenced.
|
|
|
|
- In September, 1990, an exiled Egyptian teacher, Maloof Haddad, was murdered
|
|
in Paris for alleged terrorist activities involving U.S. diplomats and the
|
|
1975 slaying of Saudi Arabia's oil minister.
|
|
|
|
- Derek Swanepool, a British journalist, made repeated visits last year to the
|
|
Philippines collecting evidence on reported payoffs received by U.S. officials
|
|
and CIA agents who helped overthrow the government of Ferdinand Marcos in 1986.
|
|
|
|
In February, 1993, he was found shot to death in his hotel room. Swanepool
|
|
had reportedly turned up pay-dirt that would have led to high-level
|
|
indictments among the Washington national security bureaucrats who ousted
|
|
Marcos. Sources familiar with CIA tactics and motives say it was an agency hit.
