Carlos Şacalul şi politica antiteroristă a României în anii ’70
Carlos the Jackal and Romania's anti-terrorist policy in the 1970s

Summary/Abstract: The research is trying to trace the presence of the terrorist Carlos in the Securitate archive files, during the period when he had not yet come into contact with the Romanian intelligence services. Since 1975, Carlos the Jackal has been mentioned in the Securitate documents as a dangerous terrorist, under international surveillance by police around the world. These mentions suddenly disappeared in 1980, when it was alleged that the terrorist Carlos was contacted by the Romanian intelligence services. The study proposes to survey these mentions, trying to establish their relevance in the anti-terrorism policy of the Romanian communist state. At the end of this approach, the author advance some explanations for the lack of documents from the Securitate archives regarding the collaboration of Carlos the Jackal with this institution, as well as about the terrorist attack perpetrated on Radio Free Europe.
