An allegedly 'independent' think tank headed by Eric Moonman in the 1980s after he lost his seat in the House of Commons. It appears in the press between 1981 and 1990 and seems then to have become defunct.[1]
It seems to have been an early nexus or terrorology in the UK.
Terrorism
- If left unchecked, international terrorism may succeed 'in altering the balance of power on the international level,' a strategic studies research professor warned Wednesday. Yonah Alexander of Georgetown University in Washington accused the Soviet Union, Libya, Syria, Iran and Cuba of running full-fledged terrorist networks, 80 percent of which are 'Marxist-Leninist in their political thinking.'
- In a publication entitled State-sponsored Terrorism, compiled for the London-based Center for Contemporary Studies, Alexander contended Cuba backs terrorists to try to bring down existing regimes in Latin America and said its 'major role in promoting trans-Marxist terrorism ... is expanding.' 'Many of the important functions of Havana, the regional headquarters, now are being transferred to Nicaragua. From here, an expansion is being consolidated into El Salvador and other neighboring countries with a view toward eventually covering all of Latin America,' said Alexander.
- He gave no sourcing for the statements.[2]
