APPENDIX: RELATED ACTIONS FOR WHICH THEIKKATEGORIE AND/OR RESPONSIBILITY IS UNCERTAIN

Please note: This list includes all incidents that we found in press releases and of SAIRR annual surveys that cannot be classified according to the target categories used in the appendix with the heading “list of known MK operations”. Moreover, we are unsure whether these attacks were carried out by bona fide MK cadres. Some appear to be the result of operational problems; others most likely “flase flag” operations.
