Revolutionary Organization of Socialist Muslims

The Revolutionary Organization of Socialist Muslims is one of many factions/suspected cover names of the Abu Nidal Organization (ANO). Other allies/cover names of ANO include: Fatah Revolutionary Council, Arab Revolutionary Council, and Arab Revolutionary Brigades. The Revolutionary Organization of Socialist Muslims was used to claim credit for attacks on British targets.

Sabri l-Banna aka Abu Nidal, the leader of the Abu Nidal Organization (ANO), died in Baghdad, Iraq in August of 2002. His death has been labeled a suicide by the Iraqi authorities; many sources believe he was assassinated by an Iraqi intelligence agent. The Revolutionary Organization of Socialist Muslims has not attacked Western targets since the 1980s, and is not considered a terrorist threat.

The Revolutionary Outburst Movement was a pro-Palestinian group responsible for one minor attack in its history, the 1993 bombing of the Kuwaiti Embassy in Beirut, just several hundred yards from a Palestinian refugee camp. A statement issued by the group shortly after the attack revealed the group's motives and protested the treatment of Palestinians in the occupied territories by US-backed Israel as well as in Kuwait by the "treacherous" Kuwaiti regime. During the Persian Gulf War of 1991, Kuwait, under the rule of the Sabah family, responded to the Palestinian Liberation Organization's sympathy for Saddam Hussein's Iraqi regime by forcefully deporting Palestinians from Kuwait. It is likely that the Revolutionary Outburst Movement also perceived US intervention in the Persian Gulf to be a war of aggression and occupation.

Despite the Revolutionary Outburst Movement's post-attack promise that harsher actions perpetrated by the group would occur in the future, no such attacks followed. Hence, it can be assumed that the group is inactive.
