Dark Networks – The international network of the Red Army Fraction (RAF)
German researchers recently published an in depth analysis of the RAF, Germany’s terror group of the 1970s. While this topic has been studied well in the past, their work allows for deeper insights into the RAF’s international network. Apparently, the RAF was well connected to other European and Palestinian terrorist groups. They shared stolen weapons, received training in the Middle East or gained access to safe zones. For example, a hand grenade stolen by the RAF in a raid on a German based US Army depot was later used by Carlos, the Venezuelan terrorist. Cooperating Palestinian groups were even secretly supplied by the KGB officially endorsed by Breschnew, the former chairman of the communist party. Despite that, from ideological point of view RAF’s cooperation with the Palestinians was somewhat paradox as the RAF justified their actions with antifascism or members called for sympathy/support of the "left" with Israel in the Six-Day war.
Unfortunately, the two volumes called “Die RAF und der linke Terrorismus (The RAF and the left wing terrorism)” by Kraushaar (Ed.) are only available in German at the moment.
