The World Islamic Jihad group has not claimed responsibility for any further attacks since 1998.  Although a harsh crackdown on the AAIA has been instituted by the Yemeni government, the group is still somewhat active and poses a moderate security threat to the region.  It is probable that members of World Islamic Jihad Group might have joined fully with AAIA, although it is highly unlikely that these former members will be responsible for any other attacks using their original moniker.

World Punishment Organization is an Armenian group responsible for two bombings in Geneva in 1982.  The decision to target Swiss banks is consistent with a general pattern displayed by Armenian terrorist groups, as Switzerland has often been the target of such groups.  This is because Armenians believe Switzerland to be a strong supporter of Turkey.  World Punishment Organization did not release any statement which would illuminate its motives.

World Punishment Organization is no longer active.

The World United Formosans for Independence (WUFI), formed in 1970, seeks to establish an independent and democratic Republic of Taiwan.  WUFI is primarily comprised of international Taiwanese students, and are most active in the U.S. and Japan.  They believe that Taiwan should be granted sovereignty from China as well as given access to United Nations membership.  <P><br /><br />Even though there is evidence that WUFI is not a terrorist organization, statements made by members around the time of the group's inception alluded to their considerations of using violence to achieve their goals.  In 1970, WUFI's president, T. Chai, stated that in order to overthrow Taiwan's government, the group will chiefly employ diplomatic tactics, but is willing to resort to violence.  <P><br /><br />On April 24th, 1970, WUFI advocate and possible member, (Peter) Huang Wen-hsiung, attempted to assassinate the Republic of China Vice Premier Chiang Ching-kuo in New York.  Chiang's party, the Kuomintang (KMT), favored eventual re-unification with Mainland China, and thus was the main opposition of pro-independence groups.  Chiang was not injured in the attempt, and Huang managed to flee the scene.  In 1996, he traveled back to Taiwan after 26 years in exile, taking advantage of a statute of limitations on his charge.  Taiwan had since abandoned its authoritarian system for a multi-party democracy.  Upon returning, pro-independence activists labeled Wen-Hsiung a hero, allowing him to become chairman of the Taiwan Human Rights Association and founder of the Human Rights Advocacy Alliance.
