Cockburn, Alexander | July 6, 1985 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on terrorist Mehmet Ali Agca and his terrorist plots to assassin several leaders and politicians around the world. The Bulgarian connection in the bid to kill the Pope, and the presumed KGB connection in the plot provides evidence for the existence of a Terror International sourced in Moscow. However, ever since the most keenly anticipated trial of Agca began in Rome on May 27, what has been emerging in outline is the story not of a KGB-inspired plot but of a right-wing conspiracy to bring off a major propaganda coup in the cold war, and specifically, discredit the left in Italy.
