Claiming Stepan Bandera was killed for being an "Anti-Soviet activist" is on par with saying "In 1945, German animal rights activist committed suicide after a long campaign of personal harassment".
He lead an ideologically pro Nazism terrorist organization that slaughtered entire villages in Poland for being 'racial inferiors', especially targeting jews, and intended to continue ethnic terrorism indefinitely until a "racially pure" state was formed from seized Ukrainian, Russian and Polish land.
There genuinely were people targeted and killed for the crime of anti-Soviet activism. Don't lump them in with men who herded the "wrong" Slavs and Jews into trucks to be slaughtered in German camps, who ordered babies heads smashed against barn walls and women to be raped and decapitated.
It's got to retain sufficient shape/integrity/speed of the "dart" after 100m to penetrate clothing and skin cleanly. I can't believe that this is actually that useful a delivery mechanism compared to something simpler such as the infamous polonium umbrella etc
> targeting anti-American leaders such as Congo's Patrice Lumumba, Cuban dictator Fidel Castro
Ahah yes, now I guess being against children getting their hands chopped off by the Belgian is anti-American. And naturally Castro is a dictator for having liberated the island, making it into a sovereign Republic.

Interesting, so a bullet would not fire but probably launched with some kind of a spring, otherwise it would melt quickly.
Compressed gas is more likely, but I find it hard to believe that it'd be effective at 100m

The author of this article is truly depraved.
fwiw I read it as a statement of the CIAs historical position, not the authors own view.
Then fair.

Really? You think that’s the reason?
