>Red Terror File: Czech branch of revitalized Red Army Faction threatens to strike US radar facility; Russia to supply Belarus with tactical missiles

>Is it not intriguing that the Red Army Faction (RAF), originally founded in 1970, has a cell in the “post”-communist Czech Republic, where the USA intends to install elements of its National Missile Defense over the strident objections of “post”-communist Russia? Intriguing, but not entirely surprising to those Kremlinologists who subscribe to the Golitsynian thesis of the bogus demise of Soviet communism. Pictured here: Pavel J. Hejatko, alleged leader of the Czech cell of the RAF, proudly displaying his red sympathies.

Alleged Czech RAF branch threatens with terrorism over base-press
November 13, 2007

Prague- The alleged Czech branch of the Red Army Faction (RAF) terrorist group has threatened with explosions, murders and violence if a U.S. radar installation were stationed in the Czech Republic, the daily Lidove noviny writes today.

“Please, take these words seriously, it is not a joke, it would probably be late after the first dead appeared,” the daily quotes the group as saying on the Internet.

The attacks are allegedly to come at the moment the first American soldier steps on Czech soil.

“[Our goal is] to ruthlessly eliminate everything American, especially what concerns our population and culture, all military means, and nationalise the entire capital gained through the blood spilt around the world, as well as to use all other methods to the benefit of the Slavonic nation,” the daily writes quoting the alleged group’s statutes signed by Pavel J. Hejatko.

Lidove noviny says Hejatko is known in the police circles as an anti-American activist who had sent letters to senators and deputies in the past.

“Then it was not a crime, according to experts,” a detective from the organised-crime squad who investigated Hejatko’s activities said.

Hejatko has declined to comment on the RAF activities, Lidove noviny says.

The paper writes that the Czech counter-intelligence service BIS is also dealing with the group activities.

“The service is aware of the RAF faction and it focuses on it,” BIS spokesman Jan Subert said without elaborating.

RAF was a German left-wing terrorist group that became notorious 30 years ago for its terrorist acts, assassinations and kidnapping in the former West Germany.

It selected victims mainly among influential persons in the political and economic spheres.

RAF had three “generations.” The first one around Adreas Baader and Ulrike Meinhof targeted its attacks mainly against American installations in protest against the war in Vietnam.

The second generation led by Christian Klar and Brigitte Mohnhaupt continued the fight against the “imperialistic system.”

The third generation committed well-organised murders in the 1980s.

Meanwhile, even as Russia’s Leninist leadership rants against US missile defense, the Federation Council, which is the upper house of the Russian parliament, has ratified President Vladimir Putin’s bill that will terminate Russia’s obligations under the Conventional Forces in Europe Treaty on December 12, 2007. The State Duma, the Russian parliament’s lower house, has already approved the bill. Central and Western Europe are now legally vulnerable to a Soviet re-invasion. In addition to the Russian Defense Ministry’s threat to reinforce troops along its western border with NATO, the Kremlin intends to deploy an Iskander tactical missile system in Belarus, with which Russia is united through the Union State. State-run Interfax reported on November 14:

“The supply of the Iskander tactical missile system to Belarus would be a asymmetrical response by Russia to the deployment of a U.S. anti-missile system in Europe, Commander of Russian Armed Forces Missile Troops and Artillery Col. Gen. Vladimir Zaritsky said on Wednesday.

“Why not? Given adequate conditions and an adequate Belarusian position,” Zaritsky said, commenting on the statement made by his Belarusian colleague Mikhail Puzikov on the Belarusian Army Missile Brigade’s plans to be armed with the Iskander-E missile system.

A little red terrorism courtesy Hejatko’s RAF cell will provide “post”-communist” Russia with the plausible deniability needed to cheaply and effectively dissuade Washington from going ahead with its plans for NMD in the Czech Republic.
