Ethiopian security police abduct CIA officer in Addis Ababa
Two years ago Ethiopian security police abducted and tortured a CIA officer involved in covert propaganda against Mengistu's regime. The officer, held over a month with injuries including a fractured skull, was released after Vernon Walters pressured Mengistu in February 1984. The incident strained U.S.-Ethiopian relations and spurred plans for covert support to anti-government dissidents.
