Tracing Terrorist Explosives(b)(3),
Explosives stolen from a quarry in Ecaussines, Belgium, in 1984 appear to have been dispersed widely throughout Europe, and we expect there will be more terrorist incidents using these explosives.
After a number of bombings in 1984 and 1985 conducted by four West European terrorist groups using the explosives, French and West German authorities in 1986 began to find more of the explosives that had been cached for future use.
At least 550 of the 815 kilograms stolen remain unaccounted for and probably are in terrorists' hands. (b)(3)
The explosives have been used in attacks by the French group Action Directe (AD), West Germany's Red Army Faction (RAF), the Belgian Communist Combatant Cells (CCC), as well as another Belgian group, the Revolutionary Front for Proletarian Action (FRAP).
This common use represented the strongest evidence of cooperation among these groups in a Euroterrorist campaign that reached its peak in late 1984 and early 1985. There were no attacks using the explosives in 1986, to the best of our knowledge.
The most recent discoveries have been linked to AD and the RAF.
French police found some of the dynamite during a raid on a farmhouse near Orleans, France, in which four key leaders of AD were arrested on 21 February.
The discovery in Orleans marked the first time any of the explosives have been tied directly to one of the groups since January 1986. That month, Belgian police uncovered a large quantity of the explosives during raids on CCC safehouses police in Duesseldorf, West Germany, arrested two French Corsicans on 4 March 1987 in possession of 1,5 kilograms of explosives that may have come from the quarry in Ecaussines.
Local authorities believe the Corsicans intended to sell the explosives to the RAF, but the dynamite has not yet been conclusively tied to the quarry theft
French police also found a small quantity of the dynamite in September 1986 in a cache associated with a Marxist Iranian group that possibly has ties to the CCC.
We do not know how the “Iranian People's Fedayeen Guerrilla Organization" obtained the 6 kilograms of explosives, but Belgian police found fingerprints of two of the group's members in the apartment of a key CCC leader who was arrested in June 1986. This was the first indication the explosives stolen in Ecuassine gone to a non-European terrorist group. (b)(3)
Who Was Responsible?
Police have never made any arrests for the theft, but there is plentiful circumstantial evidence that members of one or more of the terrorist groups that used the explosives were involved in the theft.
Witnesses reported seeing RAF hardcore member Sigrid Sternebeck near the quarry at the time of the attempted break-in on 1 May.
Furthermore, a CCC communique correctly identified the commercial names of the dynamite and the amount stolen.
They went on to claim “internationalist revolutionaries" stole the explosives, b(b)(3); group did not directly take responsibility.(1) (3)
The timing of the groups' attacks following the theft and the links among members of the groups also suggest the break-in was carried out by one or more of the groups.
The RAF, AD, CCC, and FRAP launched a coordinated campaign against NATO that ran from August 1984 through. December 1985 and used the explosives stolen from the Belgian quarry in as many as 18 of their attacks.
Before the campaign, in July 1984, West German authorities had discovered documents indicating that the RAF intended to embark on a three-pronged effort, suggesting planning was well along before the Ecaussines theft.
Although we do not know when the groups began planning their activities, the complexity, pace, and duration of their operations suggest they needed a significant amount of time to prepare, including locating and acquiring the explosives for the bombings. (b)(3)
