Editing SDRA8 (section)

==Exposure==
	SDRA8’s existence was revealed in 1990 following Italian Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti’s disclosure of Gladio in Italy. Andreotti noted that the last ACC meeting, involving SDRA8, occurred on October 23–24, 1990, in Brussels, chaired by Belgian General Van Calster.  After Italian inquiries prompted Belgian officials, Defense Minister Guy Coëme and Prime Minister Wilfried Martens publicly acknowledged SDRA8 on November 7, 1990. The Belgian government disbanded the network on November 23, 1990, following a parliamentary investigation proposal.  The Belgian Senate’s inquiry found SDRA8 to be thoroughly anti-communist and noted its recruitment of right-wing operatives, but it concluded there was no “substantive” evidence of terrorist activities or criminal infiltration.
