With Israel's July 2006 incursion into the Gaza Strip, the political situation surrounding the Palestinian territories is all but certain. The Sami al-Ghul Brigades has conducted several attacks in the last several months and it is assumed that the group will continue to actively operate.

The San Joaquin Militia was a right-wing militant group that was active in California during the late 1990s.  Their primary goal was to incite civil unrest and uprisings against the federal government.  They believed this could be accomplished by causing a major disturbance that would force the government to declare martial law.  In 1999, the group planned to detonate bombs at a Sacramento propane storage facility in hopes to generate a governmental response as well as capitalize on anticipated Y2K fears.  The attack was thwarted by the FBI through information obtained from an informant.  Officials stated that a successful detonation of the two 12 million gallon tanks would have likely killed thousands of people.  <P> <br /><br />Three militia members were indicted as a result of investigations into the bombing plot.  Kevin Ray Patterson and Charles Dennis Kiles were both convicted for conspiracy and sentenced to 21 years and 22 years in prison, respectively.  Donald Rudolph, former leader of the San Joaquin Militia, was convicted and received a reduced sentence of five years after cooperating with prosecutors to testify against Patterson and Kiles.    <br />

No information is available regarding the San Joaquin Militia after the convictions of Rudolph, Patterson, and Kiles.  Since the actual size of the group was expected to be quite small, the militia most likely disbanded after the arrests of their members.
