On this day, 2 August 1980, a timebomb exploded in an air-conditioned waiting-room in Bologna train station, killing 85 people and injuring over 200. Carried out by neo-fascists, it is one of the worst terrorist attacks in European history, and was undertaken during the Strategy of Tension: a state security operation in which attacks by the far right or security services were carried out and blamed on anarchists and communists. This is a short account of the program: https://libcom.org/history/articles/strategy-of-tension-italy https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1179978342187314/?type=3
