This is not new! Remember: Orlando Letelier, his assistant Ronni Moffitt (her husband was also injured) were both killed by a bomb in Washington DC September 21, 1976.

I only know this because of my ties with Chile - the whole thing was buried in the back pages of newspapers and no one ever seemed shocked - IN THE MIDDLE OF WASHINGTON, DC!!!
