Investigations into the 1999 bombings continued up to 2004, when Russian security forces killed three terrorists who reportedly participated in the attacks.  Other members have been apprehended and found guilty for terrorist acts.  It is probable that the Dagestan Liberation Army is no longer operational as a major threat in the region. Active members most likely migrated to join larger groups that are based in the Caucasus region, fighting for independence.

Dzhennet (Paradise), Islamic Jamaat of Dagestan

Despite renewed Russian efforts to combat the insurgency, Islamic extremism continues to be a problem in the Caucasus region. Dagestani Shari'ah Jamaat, as one of the more potent groups in the region, figures to remain a major security threat until more of an effort is made to address the social and economic issues at the root of the Dagestani terrorism problem.

Beyond the pamphlets left at the scene of the two bombings for foreign-owned businesses claimed by the Dario Santillan Command, little is known about this organization.  The pamphlets called for the Argentine government to default on its foreign debt payments and demanded that the IMF Managing Director Rodrigo Rato, who was meeting Argentina's President to discuss debt restructuring, to leave the country.<br /><p><br />The group takes its name from Dario Santillan, a 21-year old man who was shot and killed by Argentine police while taking part in a mass protest against IMF-imposed austerity measures in the Buenos Aires suburb of Avellaneda in June 2002.  Santillan had been a member of the Anibal Veron Unemployed Workers Movement.<br /><p><br />It is likely that the group is inspired by Argentina's ongoing financial problems which many Argentine's believe have been caused by free market reforms and globalization.<br />

The day after the two Dario Santillan Command bombings, a bomb exploded at the Patagonia Sudameris Bank in Buenos Aires.  The similarity in targets indicates the possibility of further attacks against banks and foreign-owned businesses in Argentina.
