Although the group's attack in solidarity with a drug-addict friend is a bit odd, it can be assumed that Communist Liberation Faction is a typical Greek arsonist group.  Such groups tend to perform a few small attacks and then fade away, and are likely little more than monikers adopted by discontented individuals. Communist Liberation Faction will likely not be responsible for future violence.

CPI-Maoist is financed through extortion, and the collection of "taxes" from local villagers and officials

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) was formed in September 2004 with the merger of the Maoist Communist Center (MCC) and People's War Group (PWG), the two main left-wing extremist groups in India. Both the MCC and the PWG were militant organizations who had waged a decades-long war against the Indian government with the goals of peasant revolution, abolition of class hierarchies, and expansion of Maoist-controlled "liberated zones." These zones were to serve as the foundation of an independent "Maoist" state.  Despite some ideological disputes between the two groups, the CPI-Maoist has seamlessly combined the Maoist philosophy of MCC with the more Marxist-Leninist viewpoint of PWG, with Maoist philosophy prevailing slightly.  <P><br /><br />In addition to maintaining a continuity of philosophy with the MCC and PWG, the CPI-Maoist has also kept their dedication to extreme violence in order to achieve its aims.  The CPI-Maoist has been responsible for a high frequency of terrorist incidents, including the killing of policemen, schoolteachers, and various government officials.  The combination of the two groups has created a formidable fighting force with an estimated 6500-7000 cadres under arms, mostly located in the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, Jharkhand, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, and parts of West Bengal. <P><br /><br />The CPI-Maoist is by far the most formidable left-wing extremist group in India.  As such, the group maintains informal links with many of the smaller organizations such as the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Janashakti.  More importantly, the CPI-Maoist has facilitated close ties with Nepalese Maoists who have been waging a bloody campaign of their own. In June 2005, Maoists from India and Nepal launched their first joint attack, leaving 21 dead in India's Bihar state.  Officials fear that increasing cooperation between these two groups could be disastrous for India's stability.
