Red Brigades claim deadliest act in Moro case
Italian Red Brigades, a small extremist group, claim responsibility for the most brazen attack in eight years during Alfa Moro’s detention. The group, believed to number a few hundred with about 150 jailed, cites Marxist upheaval led by a revolutionary proletariat and lists numerous assassinations, kidnappings, and saboteurs as part of its campaign. Renato Cureio, a 33-year-old sociology graduate and its leader, faces trial with 14 others in Turin.
