On August 2, 1980, a bomb exploded in Bologna's central railway station, killing 85 people and wounding over 200 — Italy's deadliest post-war terrorist attack. Initially blamed on leftists, investigations revealed the perpetrators were neo-fascist NAR members acting on instructions from Propaganda Due (P2), a secret Masonic lodge led by Licio Gelli. The explosives were identified as 'retrieved military explosives' of the same type used in previous Gladio-linked attacks. Italian courts eventually convicted the bombers and linked the massacre to the broader 'strategy of tension' campaign.
The 1980 Bologna railway station bombing that killed 85 people was linked to NATO's Gladio network and the P2 Masonic Lodge
“The Bologna massacre was carried out by neo-fascist operatives connected to Gladio stay-behind networks and the P2 Masonic Lodge.”
