D.C 20301-6111 S20,016.DT-S88 7 February .1989 MEMORANDUM FOR DEPUTY DIRECTOR FOR SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL RESEARCH SUBJECT: SUN STREAK Interim Operational Report - 8904 (U) 1. (S/NF/SK) During the period of 2 February 1989 to 7 February 1989 inclusively, eight operational sessions were conducted to determine the intelligence significance of a target structure identified in the copy of overhead imagery and attached to this report as ENCLOSURE 1. Results of this effort follow below. 2. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 011 produced a dubious description of the target structure, then described the interior as hollow, and containing a gigantic "air-boat" transportation device being constructed inside. [OPS COMMENTS: An evident lack of correlation with the known operational data lends little credibility to Viewer 011's effort in this instance3. 3. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 032 placed the target building in an open landscape environment surrounded by fencing and high mountains. The interior of the building was described "hollow and under construction." Viewer 032 described a future event that would involve some sort of "attack" on a government facility of national value. [OPS COMMENTS: Viewer 032's initial data strays from known ground truth and creates strong doubt as to the validity of this input]. 4. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 003 provided a conceptually accurate description of the building. Viewer 03'then described the contents as an "office building", a staff building. There were added perceptions of individuals brought to this building under duress, and held there. Viewer 003 expressed a strong sense of dislike for the building. This was accompanied by a sense of WARNING NOTICE: SENSITIVE INTELLIGENCE SOURCES AND METHODS INVOLVED HANDLE VIA SKEET CHANNELS ONLY SPECIAL ACCESS REQUIRED ItE:1~1 Ec=!, CLASSIFIED BY: DIA, DT DECLASSIFY BY: OADR Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789ROO0600910001-5 Approved For Release 2000/0~~~~DP96-00789ROO0600910001-5 SG1A foreboding that could not be further articulated. In a subsequent session, 003 tracked this sense of anguish as being associated to an adjacent building, rather than the target bu'ildine. 5. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 095 described the outer physical aspects of the site with great accuracy, then described the interior as having intersecting hallways, "rooms within rooms", and mainly U A. I L ~- A~' Lil~- LWilding's purpose was described as being "administrative, security and psychological in nature." The presence of a civilian/military duality within the building was perceived; each appeared to have an independent "chain of command." Some conflict appeared to exist between the two factions. The output of this building consists of reports and paperwork, of a practical nature. Viewer 095 accessed a man who was angry with the organization's recent loss of prestige and funding. This person is a chief advisor to personnel in authority. He is responsible for the entire operations within the building. A somewhat covert, separate set of activity appears to be taking place in the building. This activity involves the security, collection and collation of information. People who are neither prisoners nor criminals are "brought in" and interrogated. A sense of fear and manipulation is involved. A sense of "bad air" (physical reaction) and "extreme heat in the face" was perceived but not further described by 095. . 6. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 025 perceived acts of terrorism as being planned against the target building. Within this context, there were perceptions of retaliation, confrontation, crime, and third world countries (not further described). Several people and groups appear involved in the preparation and perpetration of an activity involved in the "taking hostages", "taking over the "building" as a means or pretext to obtain the release of "their own" as prisoners. The target building is some sort of plant, SG1A like Westinghouse, with the added characteristic that "several countries are involved here. 7. (SINFISK) Viewer 079 perceived the target structure as a building of European origin that dealt with international affairs. It fulfills a key administrative role in a diplomatic environment. The target building is one of about five similar buildings located in France, the Federal Republic of Germany, Italy, Spain, and Great Britain respectively; all are being considered as bombing targets by terrorists. Several terrorist factions from various countries appear to be involved in the planning and perpetration of this planned activity. The Red Brigade from Italy and the Red Army Faction from the FRG appear responsible for providing extensive logistical support. The Spanish Basque movement known as the Fatherland and Liberty (ETA) Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789ROO0600910001-5 Approved For Release 2000IW8'108 : ciA-RDP96-00789ROO0600910001-5 and the Greek Revolutionary Power Struggle (ELA) also perform a supportive function (NFI). The actual perpetrators will in all likelihood come from within the FRG Movement known as the Revolutionary Cells (RZ), and/or the Spanish First of October Anti-Fascist Resistance Group (GRAPO). Either RZ or GRAPO will claim credit as perpetrators of this bomb attack. (NOTE: The name "Weitzel" phonetically surfaced when reporting on the FRG; it may be identifiable with Wetzlar, FRG. Wetzlar is located about 150 miles north of Frankfurt". I ENCLOSURE Chief, DT-S F ~Icln RR, 9, ji SG1J Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789ROO0600910001-5
