WASHINGTON – American and European officials believe that Russian military intelligence officers directed associates of a white supremacist militant group based in Russia to carry out a recent letter bomb campaign in Spain whose most prominent targets were the prime minister, the defence minister and foreign diplomats, according to US officials.six letter bombs in late November and early December
Investigators in recent weeks have focused on the Russian Imperial Movement, a radical group that has members and associates across Europe and military-style training centres in St Petersburg, the officials said. They added that the group, which has been designated a global terrorist organisation by the US State Department, is believed to have ties to Russian intelligence agencies.
Spain is a member of the Nato alliance and has given military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine, as well as diplomatic support. Mr Putin’s calculus on terrorist attacks could change if Russia continues to suffer major setbacks in Ukraine, US officials say. Mr Putin has given his military intelligence agency wide latitude to develop and conduct covert operations in Europe, but the degree to which the Kremlin was involved in the letter bomb operation is unclear, they say.
One specific part of the agency, Unit 29155, has tried to destabilise Europe through attempted coups and assassinations, according to US and European security officials. Its agents include Russian war veterans, and it was so secretive that most GRU operatives probably did not know it existed. US and allied officials learned about the unit only in recent years.
