...timing of the aborted terrorist raid came as no surprise. Only three days before, Jordan's King Hussein abruptly closed 25 offices of Yasser Arafat's Al Fatah branch of the Palestine Liberation Organization in the capital city of Amman.

Said an Israeli official: "The P.L.O. wants to demonstrate that it's still powerful in the West Bank and that peace cannot be achieved without...
Karl Heinz Beckurts knew that the terrorist Red Army Faction had marked him for death. The director of research and technology at Siemens, the West German electronics giant, he had hired security guards, barred windows and installed alarms at his villa in Strasslach, south of Munich.

It is very likely the case, as is pointed out in the article, that the threat of terrorist actions against U.S. citizens has caused a number of people to cancel plans to travel abroad this summer and in turn contributed to the increase in Summer School enrollment. Your title, however, indicates that you have unconsciously (perhaps) accepted as fact the Reagan administration's claim that the terrorist actions...
...case of the bombing of the disco in Berlin, the counter-evidence is particularly strong: e.g. the unlikelihood of Qaddafi ordering a terrorist act against a nightclub frequented by Muslims and black U.S. GIs, Libya's explicit denial of compliance in the action and condemnation of it, and the fact that a German neo-Nazi organization claimed responsibility shortly afterwards...
