Answer

Chile was the site of covert operations carried out by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in the early 1970s. The CIA was involved in the overthrow of the democratically elected government of Salvador Allende and the installation of a military dictatorship led by Augusto Pinochet. Helms was involved in these operations and was eventually convicted of lying to Congress about them.
