"What groups are you referring to?"
You're kidding, Right? The Soviets were major funders of terrorist around the world, including Arafats PLO and Hizbolah. They funded and or trained by proxy every terrorist group that operated out of Syria, Libya, and Egypt. After the crash of the Soviet Union they turned to their Arab bretheren, mostly the Saudis, to replace the funding they lost. The war in Afghanistan not withstanding.
For years they denied this, even though terrorist of every stripe were brought to Moscow to train at the Patrice Lamumba (sp?) Friendship University - a.k.a. Terrorist U. Arafat himself attended. Remeber Carlos the Jackal? He too was an Alumni. The list is long and notorious. Do some research, the Hoover Institute is a good place to start.

It will be very interesting to see how Russia responds to the US attack on Iraq. If this war is proceeds without a UN Security Council vote, Russia will be angry.
