CHILE: Awaking to escalating anarchist threat
At the time of writing, Chile’s congress is scheduled to start considering reforms to the antiterrorist law, an overhaul of the national intelligence agency and the creation of an office of ‘high-complexity’ prosecutions with countrywide jurisdiction. Some of these reforms were already on the cards but have acquired greater urgency as a result of the political response to a bombing attack on a Santiago metro station which claimed 14 lives, the greatest number of casualties in a single incident of this kind. The attack has been claimed by an anarchist group, one of 40 that have acknowledged authorship of bombing or incendiary attacks since 2006.
