<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Project FUBELT''' is the codename for the secret 1970 [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] operations that were to prevent [[Salvador Allende]] becoming president and to promote a military coup in [[Republic of Chile|Chile]]. FUBELT operations were split into '''Track I''', using the Chilean parliament and outgoing president [[Eduardo Frei Montalva]] to block Allende's confirmation, and '''Track II''', a military coup plot. Although initially separate, the operations of Track I also quickly evolved into coup plotting.<br />
<br />
The operation culminated in the failed kidnapping and assassination of [[René Schneider]], commander-in-chief of the Chilean Army, but ultimately failed to foster a coup environment. Although the 1970 attempt failed with some conspirators arrested, it would lay the groundwork for future CIA operations in Chile, which would eventually result in the [[1973 Chilean coup d'état|1973 coup]] led by [[Augusto Pinochet]].<ref>{{Citation|last=Kornbluh|first=Peter|year=2013|title=The Pinochet File : A Declassified Dossier on Atrocity and Accountability|title-url=https://annas-archive.gl/md5/1de14b067f6a5e16ce981f591b63c8f0?&check=1|chapter=Project FUBELT: “Formula for Chaos”|publisher=The New Press|isbn=978-1-59558-912-5}}</ref><br />
