Anarchist Faction for Subversion is a Greek terrorist organization that has sporadically attacked vehicles of foreign diplomats and Greek government officials since 1998.  The group's activity peaked in 2000 when it torched two German Embassy cars, one Lebanese Embassy car, on Egyptian Embassy vehicle, and the personal vehicle of the Jordanian cultural attach&eacute;.  The group also set fire to a van belonging to a private security systems company, Vandehund.<br /><p><br />Anarchist Faction for Subversion has not taken many opportunities to voice its political agenda.  One statement, released after the attack on the Vandehund car, demanded the release of Nikos Maziotis.  Maziotis was a prominent anarchist who placed a bomb in the Ministry of Industry and Development on December 12, 1997 in solidarity with villagers revolting against the establishment of a multinational corporation in their area.  This act as well as the group's name indicate that it is committed to facilitating anarchy and disorder through random arson against government officials.<br /><p>

Anarchist Faction for Subversion has not been active since late 2000.  However, the current level of activity is roughly equivalent to the group's activity between its first attack in 1998 and its spike in 2000.  Based on the group's sporadic actions in the past, it is difficult to predict whether the group will continue to commit arson.

Anarchist Liberation Brigade is a particularly mysterious organization, even when compared to other Greek terrorist groups.  There is nothing known about them aside from the few details of their only attack - the firebombing of a branch of the National Bank in 1998.   The group did not give a reason for its attack when it called a newspaper to claim responsibility.  It can be inferred from their selection of a bank as a target that they, like other Greek terrorist groups, are anti-capitalist.  The timing of the attack is also suggestive.  The bombing took place three days after Italian police killed an anti-globalization protestor who was participating in demonstrations against a G-8 summit being held in Genoa.  A group calling itself Carlos Giuliani, after the murdered protester, claimed responsibility for another bomb in Athens that went off on the same day as Anarchist Liberation Brigade's attack. The ALB may have been motivated by the same anti-globalization furor that prompted the attack by Carlos Giuliani (the group, not the person).
