...atrocities committed by the Red Brigades, none shocked the world as much as the murder of former Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro in 1978. Kidnaped near his house in Rome after his five bodyguards were gunned down, Moro was found 55 days later shot to death and stuffed in the trunk of a car. Justice was finally meted out last week. In Italy's largest trial of terrorists, a jury found 59 leftist guerrillas guilty of the Moro killing and of 16 other murders...

Since the killing of former Prime Minister Aldo Moro in 1978, the group has split into two factions: the "militarists" who espouse the killing and kidnaping of all perceived enemies, and the "propagandists" who contend that terrorist tactics-including killing-must actually undermine state institutions. The dichotomy is believed to run through the five major Brigades columns, in Rome, Turin, Milan, Genoa and the Veneto area...
