Police ignore U.S. pleas against violence
U.S. ambassador killed in Afghan shootout
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (UPI) U.S. Ambassador to
Afghanistan Adolph Dubs was kidnapped yesterday by
four Moslem gunmen and killed in a blazing shootout
touched off by Afghan security forcesdespite U.S. State
Department pleas that there be no violence.
The government forces shot and killed the four
terrorists in their bid to free Dubs, official Radio Kabul
reported from the capital.
U.S. Embassy officials in Islamabad, and New Delhi
and State Department spokesmen said the 58-year-old
ambassador was abducted in Kabul and driven to the
Hotel Kabul where the gunmen locked him in a room
.and demanded the release of several jailed Shiite
Moslem mullahs (religious leaders).
Dubs died during the shootout between the security
forces and the terrorists but it was unclear whether he
was killed by the police or the gunmen, State Depart
ment officials said.
The officials said the gunmen who kidnapped Dubs
were zealots of the Shiite sect, the same Moslem faction
which toppled Iran’s Shah Mohammed Reza Pajilavi.
The department spokesman in New Delhi said Dubs’
chauffeur-driven automobile had stopped at a traffic
signal when four gunmen pulled the ambassador from
the car and drove him to the hotel.
The terrorists did not attempt to open negotiations
with the United States. They were apparently using
Three Cubans convicted in Leteiier murder
WASHINGTON (UPI) A jury
yesterday found three Cuban exiles
guilty of a total of 15 counts in the
assassination of Chilean diplomat
Orlando Leteiier, who was killed by a
remote-controlled bomb on
Washington’s Embassy Row.
U.S. District Judge Barrtngton Parker
was to pass sentence at a later date on
all the counts, including charges of
conspiracy, first degree murder, lying to
a grand jury and coverup. . . •
Guillermo Novo Sampol and Alvin
Ross Diaz each was found guilty on five
counts connected with the assassination
and Novo was also found guilty of two
counts of lying to a grand jury.
Novo’s brother Ignacio was found
guilty of two counts of lying to the grand
jury and one count of failing to report his

•Dubs “as a pawn” against the Afghan government, the
spokesman said.
President Carter issued a statement expressing
“sadness and shock” over the slaying. The president
and his wife spoke to the the ambassador’s widow in
Washington from Air Force One during the Carter’s
flight to Mexico yesterday.
Carter also issued an executive order that American
flags be flown at half staff.
The Afghan government, in an official radio broad
cast monitored in Islamabad, apologized for the death
of the 58-year-old veteran foreign service officer.
President Nur Mohammed Terakai said he was
“deeply grieved” and in a message sent to President
Carter said, “The enemies of the people of Afghanistan
and of friendship between Afghanistan and the'United
States were responsible foi* the incident.”
State Department spokesman Hodding Carter 111 said
the embassy had urged the Afghan government “in the
strongest terms” to avoid the use of force in dealing
with the gunmen.
“The government disregarded this request and the
ambassador was killed in the attempt to seize the hotel
room,” he said.
Kabul radio said Afghan authorities had tried in vain
to get the terrorists to release the ambassador.
The slaying of Dubs came as left-wing extremists in
knowledge of the" assassination,
technically called misprison of a felony.
Leteiier was killed Sept. 21,1976 when
a bomb exploded under his car on a
Massachusetts Avenue traffic circle in
the diplomatic area of Washington.
Ronni Moffit, 25, wife of a Leteiier aide,
was also killed.
Leteiier, a former foreign minister
and ambassador to Washington under
the government of Marxist President
Salvador Allende, lived in exile in
Washington after the Allende govern
ment was overthrown.
The three defendants, who never
testified in their own defense, stood with
blank expressions as the verdict on each
of the 15 separate counts in the in
dictment was read aloud by the foreman
of the jury.

All counts connected with the murder
carried a maximum penalty of life
imprisonment on each count. Making
false declarations to a grand jury
carried maximum penalty of five years
in prison on each count and failing to
report a felony, three years.
Parker revoked Ignaico Novo’s
freedom under a $25,000 bond meaning
he must be jailed at least until sentence
is passed.
Letelier’s widow, Isabel, standing
outside the courtroom, said, “Justice

Tehran, Iran, captured the U.S. Embassy following a
fierce, two-hour gunbattle and seized U.S. Ambassador
William Sullivan and about 70 other U.S. personnel.
.They were eventually freed by Moslem Shiite followers
of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini with no Americans
killed.
In Washington, Secretary of State Cyrus Vance called
the Dubs killing “a brutal act of violence.”
In a statement before leaving with Carter for Mexico,
Vance said the act made the United States all the more
determined “to eliminate the mindless violence which
threatens the world community.”
Since a pro-Soviet_ coup last year, Afghanistan’s
Communist government has been battling an in
creasingly violent rebellion by Moslem tribesmen
opposed to Soviet and Communist ties.
Dubs, a native of Chicago who resided in Bethesda,
Md., had been ambassador to Afghanistan since last
year, assuming the post soon after a pro-Soviet coup
ousted and killed former President Mohammed Daoud
Khan.
Dubs, known to his friends as “Spike”, was one of the
State Department’s top experts on Soviet affairs and
had served as No. 2 man in the Moscow embassy in 1976.
The 28-year foreign service veteran was one of an
elite corps of “brain trust” advisors for several
secretaries of state, including Henry Kissinger.
has begun to be exercised. Some of the
people involved in my husband’s
assassination have been convicted.”
But she said, “The person who ordered
the murder, (Chilean president) Gen.
Augusto Pinochet, has not been ac
cused.”
The grand jury indicted three former
top DINA secret police officials on all the
murder counts but the U.S. government
has not been able to extradite them from
trial. A formal extradition request is
now before the Chilean Supreme Court.
