OperationCondor (Spanish: Operación Cóndor, Portuguese: Operação Condor) was a campaign of assassination, counter-terrorism, and intelligence operations implemented by right-wing military dictatorships that -from circa 1950 to 1980s- dominated the Southern Cone in Latin America.
In light of the Cold War, OperationCondor was given at least tacit approval by the United States, due to fear of Marxist revolution in the region.
Augusto Pinochet is in the process of judgement, not for his involvement in OperationCondor (the Supreme Court rejected the possibility to judge him), but for his responsibilities in Operation Colombo and charges of tax evasion.
Condors usually measure about 1.2 m (4 ft) from the point of the beak to the extremity of the tail and 3 m (10 ft) between the tips of its wings, and can weigh over 13 kilograms (30 lb).
Condors are the national bird of Bolivia, Chile, Colombia and Ecuador and play important roles in the folklore and mythology of South America, similar to the role the eagle plays in North America.
Condors were released in 1991 and 1992 in California, and again in 1996 in Arizona near the Utah border.
