This Central Intelligence Agency dispatch from the Chief of Base, Munich, dated 2 May 1960, forwards reports by a source called AEDOGMA-1 on the October 1959 cyanide death of Ukrainian nationalist leader Stefan Bandera. The attachments review five theories: poisoning by German intelligence, by Soviet agents, by Myron Matviyeyko, by Mykola Lebed, or suicide. They also describe interviews with Munich criminal police officer Adrian Fuchs, who said the police were convinced Bandera committed suicide. The document has no UFO content.

And now suddenly the KGB murders not an NTEPleader but the less dangerous
Stefan Benders.: There are suicides here and suicides there, but most of the world
press is convinced that Handers was murdered by Communists. If that is true, then
it meane that the 2ch/OUN and Benders were a pester threat than the NTS and., God
forbid, the AMerican financiers viiilbe-eo convinced and viii redirect their aid
from the NIS to the Zeb/0113. Therefore the MCMhaiko decided to ;lent a bomb in the
empty TICTS buildiag and in this way prOve that they are no lesser threat (to the
KGB) than the Kch/CVN.
This is so obvious that it is not necessary for one to be ,a counter-intelligence
man in order to understand what is really behind it. The Make wanted.., to-
that the NTS 14 we less .11, revolutionary organisation than the Zch/CUB and that their
OrgaalsitiOn is as much a threat to the KGB as is the Sch/OUN. NOwever, the NTSob-
viously was lacking in other new ideas because .4.11ey repeated one of their old songs
which is so familiar to us all.'
In the Past year (or perhaps even in the early part of this year) an atteMpt
