This is rich. The Turkish and Italian Marxist revolutionaries busted today included a fellow committed to aiding the Iraqi "resistance." The L.A. Times reports:

...authorities said the operation that culminated in today's arrests exposed the significant cross-border ties between groups with similar goals, if unsimilar tactics.

'This consolidates the hypothesis that individuals or groups of Italian subversives, pushed by common anti-American and anti-Western views, can contact and collaborate with international terrorism,' Italian Interior Minister Giuseppe Pisanu (said).

...Among the Italians in custody is Moreno Pasquinelli, spokesman for a radical Italian group called the Anti-Imperialist Camp. Pasquinelli, on his group's website and in publications, has been attempting to raise money for 'the Iraqi resistance.' In an interview with the Times in February, Pasquinelli said that by 'resistance' he meant political parties that would govern a sovereign Iraq. He said that he was not involved in providing weapons to Iraqi fighters; there were already plenty of weapons in Iraq, he noted. At that time, he said he'd only raised about $13,000.

But the BBC said Pasquinelli told that news organization in an interview last year that he supported the 'armed struggle' in Iraq and that Iraqis could use his money to 'buy weapons, Kalashnikovs or medicines for people.'

As the summer Olympics in Athens approach, European authorities will be making more such busts, and world opinion will begin to consolidate against terrorism and the causes it supports. President Bush will reap deserved political benefits, at home and abroad.
