ETA and the BRA or Breton Revolutionary army are known to have staged armed attacks to acquire weapons, including eight tonnes of Titadine explosives stolen from a factory at Plevin in Brittany in September 1999 and explosives and more than 20,000 detonators obtained through a raid in Grenoble this year. Though French security forces recovered some of the Titadine from the BRA, some 5 tonnes were retained by ETA, some of which has been reportedly passed on to the Palestinian militant group, Hamas. Israeli security sources have made it plain that while they are aware of the raised level of co-operation between terrorist groups,they are surprised at Hamas importing explosives when so much is being made available by the Syrians and Iraqis. While the Islamic militant group, Hezbollah not only produces explosives in the Bekaa valley in the Lebanon, but has received huge quantities of modern military explosives from Iran and to a lesser extent, Syria. However, Israeli sources have expressed alarm that Hamas, in particular, has received training from some of the Real IRA's leading 'engineers' following the killing of a number of the Palestinian groups leading bomb-makers by Israeli undercover units. In return the Real IRA have received certain specialized and advanced pieces of military equipment of Russian origin which their 'friends' in Croatia and the Baltic states had been unable to supply. ETA's reported attempt to bomb a Plymouth bound ferry may have more to do with its close relationship with the Real IRA than their own needs and provides an alarming preview of the future of terrorist operations where IRA targets in mainland Britain may well be 'bombed' by terrorists from another country, making it doubly difficult for MI-5 and the specialist police branch's to identify and track them. Spanish Interior Minister, Mariano Rajoy, expressed little surprise at the idea of an international terrorist network, "On numerous occasions we have had clear proof of the relationship between terrorist groups" he said. Co-operation between terrorist organizations is set to greatly increase, it is of great value to such groups and provides a security nightmare for Western Europe. So far the Anarchist groups that plague the regular multi-national Governmental meetings in Europe and the USA have remained nothing more than a major irritant, but in a sinister move, terrorists are now known to be trying to infiltrate these groups and the prospect of professional hitmen, snipers and bombers operating under the cover of anarchist riots is exercising the minds of the Police and Security forces throughout the world.
