>There were no anti-American French terrorists for one thing
Does the name “Action-Directe” mean anything to you? What about “French Red Brigades”?
Interesting point about “Action-Directe”
As far as I know “Action-Directe” was one of the few Euro-terrorist outfits that never attacked Americans. On the other hand, while Greek Nov. 17, like all the Euro-terrorists of the era, mostly attacked their own countrymen, Nov 17 was almost unique in the intensity of its focus on American targets.
More interesting vis the Greeks is that while all the Euro-terrorists were financed/directed by Warsaw Pact intelligence agencies, and promptly died off when their backers disappeared, the Greek terrorists persisted independently. This, it is speculated, though there is circumstantial evidence for it, is because they had the allegiance and protection of elements of the Greek government.
There seems to be an offshoot that is still active. Almost twenty years after the end of the Cold War anti-American Communist Greeks were shooting rockets at the US embassy last year.
