WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The CIA on Nov. 13 will release
about 450 documents on covert operations
in Chile for the
period surrounding the bloody coup that
put Augusto Pinochet in
power, a U.S. official said on Tuesday.
CIA Director George Tenet in August
decided to withhold
releasing hundreds of documents from 1962
to 1975, saying they
would reveal intelligence methods
employed worldwide.
The release of the final segment of U.S.
government
documents on Chile for 1968-1991, as
directed by the White
House, was delayed from Sept. 14 while
the withheld CIA
documents on covert operations underwent
another review for
release.
The CIA has said it did not instigate the
coup that
overthrew Chilean President Salvador
Allende in September 1973,
but had been aware of the military
plotting. It also has said
previously that it has no information to
indicate the CIA was
involved in Allende's death.
About two dozen of the CIA covert
operations documents
reviewed again for declassification will
not be released.
Another 1,000 CIA documents on human
rights abuses,
terrorism and other acts of political
violence in Chile will be
released on Nov. 13. That will be in
addition to declassified
documents on Chile that will be released
by other U.S.
agencies.
