Webster’s FBI v. Terrorism

If anyone thinks that metal detectors and plastic shields will meet the problem of terrorism, then he needs to be educated as to the scale and insidiousness of this form of warfare. Claire Sterling, the world-renowned and world-respected student of terrorism, would be a good place to start, notably her book The Terror Network, where she documents the international linkage among terrorist groups from Spain to Turkey, from Ireland to Japan.

Could it be that the Arms Resistance Unit that claims responsibility for the November 7 Capitol bombing (motivated, they say, by U.S. military actions in Lebanon and Grenada) is linked to the international terrorist network? Fidel Castro has said that he would seek reprisal for U.S. intervention in Grenada by terrorist attacks against Americans everywhere in the hemisphere. Was the Marine headquarters bombing in Beirut linked to the network, and does it possibly trace back to the United States itself (even as, for instance, murders by SWAPO in Namibia have been planned at the United Nations)? Farfetched? Read Claire Sterling.
