COBRA (terrorist organisation)

COBRA was a terrorist organisation and arms-dealing network.

History
In 1983, a six-nation crackdown on COBRA's activies in Western Europe was organised by UNIT. Concurrently with this, Sarah Jane Smith, a few years into her retirement from active UNIT service, wrote a series of articles covering the events, which did a lot to restore her readers' faith in her after her career had taken a backseat for so many years to her adventures with UNIT and Dr John Smith.
