Shelly said "it's important to note that every person that was indicted by the United States in this terrorist case has now been prosecuted either in the United States or in Chile and so hopefully this will bring this very sad chapter to an end." The case had been closely watched by the United States, which sought to have the two officers stand trial for the crime. Both men had denied responsibility for the crime and appealed their convictions to the Supreme Court. The decision meant that for the first time in Chile senior army officers will go to prison for human rights abuses committed under the military dictatorship of Gen. Augusto Pinochet. Letelier was killed Sept. 21, 1976, three years after Pinochet overthrew the elected Marxist government of Salvador Allende. Letelier had been Allende's foreign minister and ambassador in Washington and took up exile here. His car was at Sheridan Circle, near the Chilean Embassy residence, when a bomb attached to the auto detonated. In its ruling, the Supreme Court said the two officers had orchestrated the car-bombing. Michael Townley, an American who worked for the Chilean secret police, and a former Chilean Army officer confessed their involvement and implicated the two officers. Two Cubans were also found guilty of involvement in the killings. The ruling was said to be a major victory in testing democratic freedoms in Chile, six years after Pinochet gave up power to an elected government. Pinochet continues to command Chile's army. NNNN
