FBI Forges Letters to Incite Violence Between Black Panthers and US Organization

FBI COINTELPRO agents created and mailed forged letters purportedly from Black Panther Party members threatening the US Organization, and vice versa, to provoke violence between the two California groups. The operation contributed to the murders of four Black Panthers on UCLA's campus and elsewhere in 1969. An internal FBI memo called the results 'tangible results' of the program.
