Today, the ACCU operates as part of the larger umbrella group, the United Self-Defense Forces/Groups of Colombia (AUC).  Despite the numerous groups currently incorporated in the umbrella, the ACCU remains a particularly powerful force within the umbrella organization.  Since December 2002, the AUC, including the ACCU, has adopted a ceasefire and is pursuing peace talks with the Colombian government.

Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia (ASALA) -- Suspected Alias/Ally

September-France was most likely not a terrorist group of its own but an alias of the Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia (ASALA).  The ASALA, the most well-known and deadly of the various Armenian terrorist organizations, operated in France at this time.  It is believed that September-France took their name from the events of September 24th, 1981, in which a number of ASALA terrorists were arrested after taking a number of hostages in the Turkish embassy in Paris.

No further attacks were claimed under the name of September-France after October 1981.  The ASALA is also presumed to be inactive.<br />

Shahin has not claimed responsibility for any acts of violence since 1992. It should be noted that the violence of the early 1990s and aforementioned differences between Kurdish groups actually led to an outright Civil War in the early to mid 1990s between Iraqi-Kurds and Turkish-Kurds. While Kurdish attacks on Turkish targets continue to this day, the Shahin group remains inactive. However, it is possible that members of Shahin have joined larger Kurdish militant organizations, and are committing violence at present-time.

The Sheikh Ahmed Yassin Brigades is not a terrorist organization, but rather a name devised by a solitary extremist named Sleiman Elmerhebi who, in 2004, attacked the United Talmud Torahs, a Jewish elementary school in Montreal.  Attributing the attack to the "Brigades" simply allowed Elmerhebi to preserve his anonymity while claiming responsibility for the crime.  The name Elmerhebi chose, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, refers to the co-founder and leader of Hamas who was killed by Israeli forces on March 22, 2004. <P><br />On April 5, 2004, Elmerhebi firebombed the library of the school with six canisters of kerosene purchased from Canadian Tire, an automotive store and his employer at the time. A note left at the scene attributed the attack to the "Brigades" and warned of more damaging attacks if Canada refused to change its policies in the Middle East.  No injuries occurred from the attack due to the school's closing for the Passover holiday.  <P><br />
