It is the stuff of an airport thriller: a story of a man radicalised in his teens, who goes on to spend two decades as a bomb-maker, arms dealer, prisoner, clandestine organiser and terrorist facilitator before disappearing on a dark night from a ship in the middle of the Mediterranean in a final unresolved mystery.
Now the story of Bruno Bréguet, one the most enigmatic figures of the shadowy battle between western security services and international violent extremists during the so-called “golden age of terrorism” in the 1970s and 1980s, has been given a new twist.
A new book has revealed that in his later years Bréguet served not only the infamous Illich Ramírez Sánchez, better known as Carlos the Jackal, but the US government too. Bréguet’s spying for the CIA earned him tens of thousands of dollars, and contributed to the capture of his erstwhile boss by French secret services in 1994.
