My understanding is that it was a program to keep US military and intel operations going inside Europe and especially Italy where there was a growing left (commies) who were participating in the multi party system there. There may have been more radical elements who may or may not have received support from the USSR. I don't know and I don't care. But the rightwing wanted to destroy the left and they staged a series of attacks blaming them on the left to intimidate people who would welcome more security to have peace.

A leader of Democrazia Cristiana (Christian Democracy, DC), Moro was considered an intellectual and a patient mediator, especially in the internal life of his party. He was kidnapped on March 16, 1978, by the Red Brigades (BR), a Marxist-Leninist terrorist organization, and killed after 55 days of captivity
I think it was a right wing op. I wasn't there.
