Much of the anti domestic terrorism work which the FBI did was entrapment. The FBI plants were frequently under pressure to show proof that their assigned organisations were in fact terrorist cells.
The police would plant people in suspect groups who pressure the rest of the group to engage in terrorist activity.
This isn’t exclusive to 1970s USA. Similar things happened in mosques after 9/11 where Imans would know an FBI agent simply because he was the only extremist in the congregation.
And in the United Kingdom, there were long term plants in environmental organisations who engaged in ecoterrorism.
