June 26 (LPAC) -- Barely one week after Lyndon LaRouche intervened in Rome on the subject of Henry Kissinger's role in the assassination of Italian statesman Aldo Moro (1978), the Parliament Intelligence Oversight Committee (Copasir) has announced it will question Kissinger personally on the Moro case.

Francesco Rutelli, head of the committee, said that Kissinger has accepted to speak before the committee, and a hearing will be held on June 30. "We will submit written requests to the former State Secretary and we will see what his answers will be."

According to witnesses, Henry Kissinger had threatened Moro at a meeting in Washington in 1976, with a "bad end" unless Moro stopped his policy of dialogue with the Italian Communist Party. On March 16, 1978, the day a government based on Moro's policy was to be approved by Parliament, Moro was kidnapped by the terrorist Red Brigades and killed 55 days later, on May 9.

In his speech in Rome June 18, at a presentation of a book by Moro's collaborator Giovanni Galloni, LaRouche stressed that Kissinger's role is "overexaggerated" and that Kissinger is just "a lackey" of the "Anglo-Dutch liberal faction" represented in the USA by people like George Shultz. Whatever Kissinger has done against Aldo Moro, he has done it on behalf of this faction, LaRouche said, which is committed to remove all obstacles to their project of a world empire.
