The Bureau's organizational structure is by its intended nature an opaque one. The Bureau does publicly disclose a simplified organizational chart on its website that shows two main branches, an office devoted to operations in foreign countries and another one focusing solely on internal duties. In theory these two branches within the BSP work together seamlessly and with a high degree of coordination. | The Bureau's organizational structure is by its intended nature an opaque one. The Bureau does publicly disclose a simplified organizational chart on its website that shows two main branches, an office devoted to operations in foreign countries and another one focusing solely on internal duties. In theory these two branches within the BSP work together seamlessly and with a high degree of coordination. Scholars of the organization suspect there are as many as triple the amount of committees and departments than those publicly acknowledged, with an entire office dedicated to growing and safeguarding the Party's economic empire. | ||

*'''Operation Brakion''' - The secret arrest and murder of [[Shen Doik]], chief advisor and widely suspected power behind the throne of the previous regime. Immediately after the PCD victory, Doik left the country and took up residence in [[the Cape]]. In October 1994 BSP agents successfully kidnapped him in [[Cape Town]] and put him on a plane to Corumm. It is suspected that Doik was tortured and murdered aboard the plane and his corpse thrown somewhere in the Ocean of Cathay. Brakion was the first of many similar operations undertaken against former members of the military regime. | *'''Operation Brakion''' - The secret arrest and murder of [[Shen Doik]], chief advisor and widely suspected power behind the throne of the previous regime.
