There's another kind. The first Interpol red bulletin for ObL was issued by Libya bec Qaeda had taken out an MI5 contract on Kaddafi. Abu Nidal routinely killed PLO cadres for Israel. The anthrax killer is a big cheese in the US biowar industry. You get my drift? In fact, with the amount of electronic and human snooping going on in the world today, I have serious doubts that any big terrorist operation can be mounted without detection by one or more intel networks, ergo most big bang terrorist capers are not the work of opposition groups, or if they are, they suit the purpose of the intel agencies monitoring them.
