...Greek Cypriots and temporal leader of the enosis movement. Makarios ordered a "systematic campaign of passive resistance aimed at achieving national freedom." Besides the grave, soft-spoken archbishop and his church are two other groups more openly committed to violence in support of enosis - an underground terrorist gang called E.O.K.A. and the Cyprus Communist Party, whose 18,000-member Pancypriot Labor Federation has a hammer lock on the island's labor force, and whose membership includes the mayors of the second, third and fourth largest towns on the island. Communists obviously espouse the cause for troublemaking reasons alone...

In the teeming bidonvilles, where few Frenchmen dare enter, veiled women made grenades. Their menfolk banded together in terrorist societies-the Black Crescent, Black Hand, and many others. Egged on by the mullahs and by the Voice of the Arabs, a Cairo propaganda station supported by the Egyptian government, young Moslem fanatics began bombing French stores, derailing trains and stabbing French civilians. In 1954, the long knives and homemade bombs...
Thirsting for Guns. In 1939, taking advantage of Britain's preoccupation with the coming World War II, the I.R.A. sought to revive the issue of partition by launching hundreds of terrorist bombings in Manchester and London. Britain protested vigorously to Eire, and a year later, following a pitched battle in the streets of Dublin, the Irish Republican government clamped down on the I.R.A., imprisoned several hundred of its leaders and executed two for murder...
