Two conspirators tell of the failed attempts in '81 LUSHË KUÇI - Some shocking truths about the attempt to kill dictator Enver Hoxha in 1981 were revealed yesterday after the publication in the Greek daily "Ethnos" of an interview with the former Albanian consul in New York, Hysen Çino. In an interview with that daily, Dr. Hysen Çino said that he and a small group of people had planned the assassination of Enver Hoxha. Çino is confirming many of the facts mentioned in the interview published in our newspaper through the testimony of one of the members of this conspiracy, Nesti Nase? [?]. It concerns the person named Qazim Dema? [?], who in 1981 had the task of carrying out the assassination of Enver Hoxha as well as making the arrangements for the group's escape in case of failure. In yesterday's interview for the Greek newspaper "Ethnos", Dr. Hysen Çino said that his arrest by the Albanian security service was made precisely on the basis of a denunciation by one of the members of his group. Perhaps in an effort to divert attention from himself, the group in question sold out to the security service, and those tips also led to the sensational arrests in 1982 of the "counterrevolutionary group" led by Nesti Nas[h]i? [?] and others. All this information from this interview comes after 15 years, when at the same time two high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense, as well as Albania's own prime minister Mehmet Shehu, were arrested and sentenced again to death by firing squad. In those years, in very narrow circles, it was said that Dr. Çino's group had been arrested precisely because of a denunciation made against them by Prime Minister Mehmet Shehu, who killed himself after discovering that he himself would be implicated in the arrest of the group conspired to kill Enver Hoxha. Meanwhile, according to statements made yesterday in Athens by Dr. Çino, the only person who would carry out the assassination of Enver Hoxha would be Qazim Dema? [?], because he was the person closest to the dictator, since he accompanied him in almost all his movements as a member of the republican guard. Moreover, according to Dr. Çino, the conspiracy would have been carried out in 1981 and if it failed, it would be repeated in 1982. Meanwhile, the interview with Dr. Çino also says that after the failure of the first assassination attempt, a second assassination was planned in which the shooter would be a woman, but her name was never made public. Interview / "We Were Betrayed by One of Our Own". The assassination would have been carried out in Tirana or on the way there
