The New Armenian Resistance first struck in 1977, detonating a bomb in the Turkish tourism office in Paris.  Subsequent attacks targeted Turkish banks in Brussels and London, and airline counters in Brussels and Rome.  Following the bombing of Turkish Airlines offices in Brussels in February 1983, NAR either ceased its operations entirely or perhaps combined with a larger group such as the ASALA.  No further NAR activity is expected.

The New Order was a terrorist organization operating in Illinois modeled after Robert J. Matthews' white supremacist group, the Order. Demmos McGiffen, former Grand Dragon of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), formed the organization in May 1997 after determining that the KKK was "too wimpy." McGiffen is believed to have been heavily influenced by the Turner Diaries, a racist novel written by William Turner in 1978, and McGiffen's idol, Robert J. Matthews. <p> <br />The New Order planned to ignite a race war through bombings, assassinations, and water supply poisonings. Members of the group selected several targets to bomb including: the Anti-Defamation League headquarters in New York (a Jewish anti-bigotry organization), the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, Alabama (a civil rights law firm), and the Simon Wiesenthal Center headquarters in Los Angeles (an international Jewish human rights organization). Morris Dees, one of the founders of the Southern Poverty Law Center, and a federal judge were selected as assassination targets. The group planned to finance their terrorist activities through bank and armored car robberies. <p><br /><br /><br />Dennis McGiffen and two other members, Wallace Weicherding and Ralph Bock, were arrested on February 23, 1998 before they were able to conduct any attacks. Two other members, Glenn Lowtharp and Karl Schave, were also later arrested. These five individuals were believed to be the only members of the organization and all were ultimately convicted and sentenced to various prison terms. During their trial, both McGiffen and Weicherding maintained that their terrorist plans were only "drunken ramblings." Although these five known members were previously members of the KKK and Aryan Nations, no known relationship existed between the New Order and these two other more-established racist organizations.<br />
