@ -42,10 +42,6 @@ The Peteano case was reopened in 1984 by [[Felice Casson]], a young Venice inves
Casson requested authorization from the government to access further classified Gladio materials. Prime Minister [[Giulio Andreotti]], faced with the disclosure request, chose to acknowledge the network's existence to Parliament on October 24, 1990. The Peteano bombing - a single attack in a remote Friulian village in 1972 - thus became the direct chain of evidence that forced the exposure of the entire NATO stay-behind infrastructure eighteen years after it occurred.[^2]
### Significance
The Peteano case demonstrates the structural mechanism of the strategy of tension: a neofascist operational cell commits an attack; military intelligence suppresses forensic evidence pointing toward the weapons network; the attack is misattributed to the left; and the political climate shifts toward the security measures the strategy intended. That the entire apparatus was ultimately exposed through a single magistrate pursuing a single anomaly in a single case is equally illustrative of how the strategy of tension came undone.[^1]
