Letter: Terrorist states

Published 10 November 2001

From Desmond Campbell

I disagree with Gary King’s claim in your article about a “conflict index”
that “the only sponsors of international terrorism are failed states”
(27 October, p 10).

What about Israel’s terrorism of the Palestinians, Iran’s sponsorship of
Hamas, and US sponsorship of the Contras in Nicaragua and the mujahedin in
Afghanistan?
