The arrest of Cesare Battisti in Brazil yesterday added another twist to a story that would strain credulity if contained within one of the thriller writer’s own books. Battisti was certainly involved in the ‘years of lead’ - the internicine and complex terrorist fighting of the 1970s. Think Red Brigades, or in Battisti’s case, the PAC (Armed Proletarians for Communism). There’s an interesting wrap of stories on The Guardian’s site.
