Armando Fernandez Larios, 37, a former Chilean army major, was ordered by U.S. District Judge Barrington Parker to serve 10 months minimum in prison after pleading guilty to being an accessory after the fact in the 1976 bombing that killed retired diplomat Orlando Letelier in Washington. He admitted traveling to Washington to find Letelier’s home and office and said Chilean secret police leaders ordered him to lie.
