Secret Organization of al-Qaeda in Europe

Based on the information available, it is unlikely that the Secret Organization of al-Qaeda in Europe is responsible for the July 2005 London bombings. It is far more plausible that the London bombers, inspired by al-Qaeda and espousing a similar ideology, acted independently while others sought recognition for the attack.  Even though no evidence lends credence to the legitimacy of the Secret Organization of al-Qaeda in Europe, additional intelligence would aid in determining any future threat the group may pose to the region.

Secret Organization Zero is the organization involved in the assassinations of Jose Elias de Torriente, Ricardo Morales Navarrete, and Rolando Mansferrer.  The group would place dark sheets of paper with their victim's initials and a symbol of a zero on the scene of the assassination.  Secret Organization Zero dedicated itself to the liberation of Cuba from Fidel Castro's rule and appeared to be focused on killing the leaders of rival anti-Castro groups.  The group is highly secretive and its existence was fleeting as it is likely a temporary name employed by a faction of the Cuban mafia for the purposes of carrying out its assassinations.  <br /><p><br />However, what little evidence there is indicates that the man behind Secret Organization Zero was Orlando Bosch, an infamous Cuban terrorist who fought to bring down Fidel Castro.  Navarrete was an informant who testified against Bosch.  Torriente was the head of a rival group, the National Front for the Liberation of Cuba (FLNC) and a letter released after his death accused him of being insufficiently dedicated to bringing down Fidel Castro.  Mansferrer was similarly believed to be a detriment to the anti-Castro cause as he was at the head of "30th of November," an anti-Castro organization that was quickly proving ineffective.  All of these facts increase the plausibility of the claim that Bosch, a rabid anti-Castro militarist, was attempting to consolidate control over anti-Castro forces in Miami.  The F.B.I., although it did not reach any conclusions, viewed Guillermo Novo as the prime suspect in the murder of Mansferrer.  Novo was a close associate of Bosch.<br /><br /><br />
