Operation Condor - Regional Co-operation
Among Latin American Intelligence Services

I. During recent months, the intelligence services of"
Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Bolivia, Brazil and Paraguay have -
embarked on a new concept of regional co-operation against
terrorism which includes the mounting of offensive operations
outside of their own countries against Latin American terrorist
leaders. The code name of "Condor" has been assigned to this
co-operative effort. The intelligence services of Chile
Argentina, and Uru ua are ow o a
teams to operate
The purpose of these teams will be to liquidate
key Latin American terrorist leaders.
2. The plans of these countries to undertake offensive
action outside of their own Jurisdictions poses new problems for
the Agency/
But more importants it
raises the question of what action the Agency could effectively
take to forestall illegal activity of this sort. Also,-every
precaution must be taken to ensure that the Agency is not wrong-
fully accused of being a party to this type of activity. -
