The VMRO-MNM is still active and promotes its anti-Albanian agenda whenever possible.  However, the group has seemed reluctant to use violence since the 2001 riots, and no further incidents are expected.

The Macheteros issued their first communique on August 24, 1978.  In the letter, the group protested the deaths of two Puerto Rican independency advocates by Puerto Rican police officers.  In addition to the written protest, the newly formed group physically retaliated against the Puerto Rican police force.  The Macheteros first recorded terrorist action was the murder of a Puerto Rican police officer.  <P> The Macheteros is a terrorist group committed to full Puerto Rican independence from the United States.  While the group has shown activity in the continental U.S., the group is based in Puerto Rico.  Furthermore, the majority of its attacks have occurred in Puerto Rico.  The Macheteros believe that the U.S. is illegally occupying Puerto Rican lands.  The group's terrorist activities are particularly aimed at U.S. military installations and personnel.  In addition, the group has a history of attacking Puerto Rican police officers.

While the Macheteros are based in Puerto Rico, a bank robbery in the United States precipitated a severe blow to the terrorist group.  In September 1983, the Macheteros stole more than $7 million from a Wells Fargo bank in West Hartford, Connecticut.  While the Macheteros escaped with the majority of the stolen money, enough evidence was gathered from the bank investigation to arrest several key Macheteros leaders.  <P> Despite the successful conviction of several Macheteros leaders in the early 1990s, the Macheteros have engaged in terrorist attacks since the arrests.

The Madheshi Liberation Front (MLF) is one of a number of smaller insurgent groups affiliated with the Communist Party of Nepal  --  Maoist (CPN-M). It broke away from the Janatantrik Terai Mukti Morcha (JTMM) and is led by Jay Krishna Goit, who also founded the JTMM.<br /><p><br />The MLF functions both as a public political movement and an underground insurgent group that supports the rights and political freedoms of the Madheshi people who occupy the southern plains areas (also known as the Terai region) of Nepal. The group's insurgent actions have been limited. The MLF frequently organizes protests against the Nepalese government, as well as protests against other groups that support the government, which occasionally result in violence and injury. It has also looted police stations in the Terai, often forcing the police officers to abandon the stations before confiscating provisions.
