The LINER galaxies NGC 2911, NGC 3079, NGC 3998, and
NGC 6500 were observed at 5 GHz with the European VLBI Network at a
resolution of 5 milliarcsecond and found to possess flat-spectrum,
variable, high-brightness temperature ( K) radio
cores. These radio characteristics reinforce the view that these
LINERs host central engines associated with active galactic
nuclei.
