Trainings, Arms and Proxies

This dangerous predicament of the West has been elaborated upon by Professor Richard Pipes, Robert Moss, Brian Crozier, Dr. Ray Cline, Senator Henry Jackson and others. The international department of the central committee of the communist party of the Soviet Union has established two training schools for foreign terrorists. The first, the Lenin Institute, trains the hard-core Marxist-Leninist cadres, while the second, the Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow for communist-oriented students, trains terrorists primarily from the developing world. Several hundred foreign nationals are trained each year at several sites within the Soviet Union. Additional training takes place in North Korea and Cuba. In addition, terrorist training is done in Libya, PLO camps in Lebanon, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, and other East European nations. Many of the terrorists active in West Germany and Italy were trained with KGB assistance at PLO training camps in Lebanon. Terrorists in Northern Ireland have been assisted by Omnipol, an element of the Czech Intelligence Service controlled by the KGB.

The Cuban Intelligence Service, the DGI, has been under the command of a Soviet KGB major-general since 1968. Cuba is now becoming the major Soviet link with the international terrorist movement. The Cuban DGI, which has the major role in support of international terrorist activities on behalf of the Soviet government, has sent its representatives to virtually every area of the developing world. Representatives of the Cuban training establishment have been sent to PLO camps in Lebanon to assist terrorists of Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. In late April of this year, an agreement was made by the PFLP to have several hundred terrorists trained in Cuba, following a meeting between Habash and Cuban officials.

PLO terrorists are also being trained under KGB supervision in Hungary and Bulgaria. A vast arsenal intended for use by terrorists is being built up by the Soviet Union in Libya. Equipment sufficient for five Soviet motorized rifle divisions has been stockpiled in Libya ready to support large-scale guerrilla operations. It can be shipped to Zambia and Mozambique as well as used to support the more modest requirements of small terrorist organizations in West Europe, Africa, and the Western hemisphere. Indeed, Qaddafi sponsored a conference in Benghazi earlier this year which included a large number of Latin American terrorist organizations with PLO elements. Among the results of the conference is an effort to support the Sandinistas in Nicaragua via Cuba and Panama, and pressuring Brazil to permit the opening of a PLO office in Brazil — moves likely to be precursors to the spread of transnational terrorism to the Western hemisphere. Nowhere is the hand of the Soviet Union directly in sight. Libya, Cuba and East European states are the only nations directly involved. The Soviet Union, the ultimate source of weapons, logistic support, intelligence collection, transportation of terrorists, and related matters, is not routinely identified, neither by Western governments and the press, nor — incredibly — by the U.S. State Department.
