Not to beat a dead horse, but this is what Russian GRU defector Viktor Suvorov (Vladimir Rezun), former Spetsnaz officer had to say in his book Spetsnaz:
"Widespread terrorist and sabotage operations in advance of World War III are known officially in the GRU as the 'preparatory period,' and unofficially as the 'overture.' The overture is a series of large and small operations the purpose of which is, before actual military operations begin, to weaken the enemy's morale, create an atmosphere of suspicion, fear and uncertainty, and divert the attention of the enemy's armies and police forces to a huge number of different targets, each of which may be the object of the next attack. "The overture is carried out by agents of the secret services of the Soviet satellite countries and by mercenaries recruited by intermediaries. The principal method employed at this stage is 'gray terror,' that is, a kind of terror which is not conducted in the name of the Soviet Union. The Soviet secret services do not at this stage leave their visiting cards, or leave other people's cards. The terror is carried out in the name of already existing extremist groups not connected in any way with the Soviet Union, or in the name of fictitious organizations."

BINGO!!!!
Spetznaz = Russian Special Forces.
GRU = Russian military intelligence
This is not a dead horse to be beaten. This is a Trojan Horse.
Remember, if the Trojan's had known the Greeks were in the Horse they'd have been around a while longer.
I believe in reciprocity.
