I hadn't heard that Marxists were involved...yet, but your post reminds me of something I read a year or so ago. I think it was in one of Laurie Mylroie's books...or maybe I just read it at about the same time. Anyway, wasn't there a synchronized attack on Israeli embassies in South America just before the US embassy bombings in Africa? I'll do some digging and see if I can come up with more on that.

I wasn't aware of Ms. Mylroie's info. Had I known, I would have used it as a gold star on my analysis. I first saw her on C-SPAN some years ago and recognized her as a great analytical talent (could it be because I agreed with her?)
The woman she is unfortunately a vastly underused resource in this country. Tom Friedman is trotted out to pontificate on Middle East affairs while the major media lay at his feet waiting for pearls of wisdom to fall.
