IT may not be the end of history, but the era of states Waging war as a means of settling conflicts is receding. Violence, instead, is becoming the preserve of terrorist Organisations prepared to use any means to achieve ends that cannot be reached by peaceful methods. Their capacity to destabilise governments is huge so The temptation for those governments' enemies to do Business with them is ever present.Worse, the march of technology makes the efficiency of the weapon systems available to them ever more terrifying. Our disclosure today(28/9/97) that the Kurdish PKK separat ist group has ambitions to use poison bombs against Tourists and British interests is part of this wider Picture.It is extremely disturbing. European governments are committed to fighting terrorism together but, as we reveal, some groups have been able to operate within Greece. Worse, it appears some elements in the Greek secret service have connived in the PKK's operations and are alleged to have offered funding. This is a grave charge, but the evidence of our Informant, and Greece's failure to deal with the 17 November terrorist group, requires more than ritual denials. The story of Seydo Hazar offers evidence that terrorists can produce home-made nerve agents like sarin, or Biological weapons which utilise deadly bacteria. The Way they go about it, of course, cannot be kept a secret. It is already available in patent offices and on the Internet. Theory, it seems, has too easily been allowed. Become practice:

The new upward ratchet in the terrorist threat. to Civilians is alarming. But so are the close links, prevously only speculation, between German neo-Nazis, the PKK, Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka and the Palestinian Hamas organisation. Weapons are being traded between groups with murderous results. National rivalries have no place in the joint fight Against terrorism. This lesson has to be learned above all in Greece, where a faction-driven secret service seems to bear some responsibility for exposing citizens To PKK terrorists its rivalry with Turkey persuading wilder fringes of its secret services to sponsor the cell On the principle that my enemy's enemy is my friend. Our evidence shows its assurances to the United States That these activities would stop are not seen as credible.
