Revolutionary Brigades' only known attack took place in September of 2002.  Two individuals threw a fire-bomb at a local office of PASOK (the socialist party that controlled Greek politics until March 2004).  A caller claiming responsibility for the attack explained that it was a demonstration of support for November 17, Greece's most notorious terrorist group.  At the time, almost 20 alleged (and in some cases confessed) members of November 17 were awaiting trial in Koridhallos prison.  It is not known whether Revolutionary Brigades sees November 17 as its ally because it shares that group's nationalist, anti-globalization and anti-establishment ideology, or if Revolutionary Brigades merely feels solidarity with any enemy of the Greek government.

Revolutionary Brigades' has not claimed responsibility for an attack since their first.  It seems likely that they formed for the purpose of committing that attack and that they ceased to exist afterwards.  It is very common for Greek terrorist organizations to attack once and then disappear.

Revolutionary Cells Animal Liberation Brigade

The Revolutionary Cells-Animal Liberation Brigade is an unusually violent animal-rights terrorist movement.  The group has claimed responsibility for two bombings in 2003.  One bombing occurred in August 2003 on the grounds of Chiron, an Emeryville-based biotechnology firm.  The other bombing occurred a month later when the Revolutionary Cells-Animal Liberation Brigade planted a nail bomb at the headquarters of the Shaklee Corporation, which manufactures health foods, vitamins and cosmetics.  Both groups were targeted for their association with Huntingdon Life Sciences, an animal-testing contractor.<br /><p><br />The Revolutionary Cells-Animal Liberation Brigade is an unusual group because its tactics are more violent than those employed by other animal-rights extremists.  In an e-mail message following the Shaklee bombing, the group specifically threatens certain individuals in particularly menacing ways.  The group also claims that its attacks will grow larger and larger until either Huntingdon Life Sciences is shut down or American cities lie in rubble.  <br /><p><br />The Revolutionary Cells-Animal Liberation Brigade also claims to be a front for a diverse number of groups and claims to be an international coalition fighing injustice.  The group's e-mail voices its solidarity with a disparate group of international terrorists.  Yet despite such claims, Revolutionary Cells-Animal Liberation Brigade is undoubtedly a small terrorist group concerned with animal rights and with a penchant for hyperbole and casting about pretensions of power and importance.<br />
