I couldn't find a thread relating to the 'Years of Lead' so i thought i would post this
documentary by the BBC from 1992 concerning the little known [in the UK at least]
'Operation Gladio', this was a network of spies orchestrating terrorist attacks across Euorpe and blaming them on communists or other leftist groups, they also infiltrated such groups as the Red Brigade.Sounds like a conspiracy theory doesn't it, but Christian Democrat Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti publicly recognized the existence of Gladio on October 24, 1990.'Gladio' was formed at the end of the second world war and actively employed facists and nazis,in Italy many of the attacks blamed on the Red Brigade were actually 'Gladio' operations, there's a particularly chilling description of the Bologna massacre that leaves little doubt that 'Gladio' were involved [1hr 32] the explanation given by the P2 ['Propaganda Due'] masonic lodge representative beggers belief !
