The Islamic Defense Force has not been linked to any terrorist activity since 1998.  Although the group is inactive, the renewal of extreme religious tensions between Hindus and Muslims in India could lead to a reemergence of the organization.

Islamic Front for Iraqi Resistance - Salah-al-Din al-Ayyubi Brigades

Mujahideen Shura Council -- Supported Cause

Through the Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi Brigades, the IFIR is very active in the Iraqi insurgency. As long as the specter of sectarian strife continues, US troop levels remain consistent, and the current Iraqi government's legitimacy gap problem is not solved, it is expected that the IFIR  --  Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi Brigades will continue to be a security threat in Iraq.

Islamic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (IFLP)

Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) -- Umbrella Organization

The Islamic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (IFLP) was a faction of the Palestine <br />Liberation Organization (PLO) that was most active in the 1980s and early 1990s.  While their name incorporates a faith subtext, their public statements did not stress religion as a motivating factor.  Their goal, as with other groups within the PLO network, was to establish an independent Palestinian state.  However, at times the IFLP adhered to a strict militant philosophy that was distinct from their allied groups.  In 1990, the IFLP criticized the PLO for condemning Palestinian fedayeen (commando) operations against Zionist settlers, stating that the PLO response was devoid of national and militant substance and would be seen as a blessing for American policy in the region.  IFLP spokesmen called for the PLO to retract the statement.  <P><br /><br />The IFLP claimed their first attack in 1986 with the bombing of Israeli soldiers in Jerusalem.  Killing one person and injuring sixty-five.  Later that year, IFLP operatives in Beirut held three Americans hostage in an attempt to force the U.S. to support the emerging Intifada in the West Bank and Gaza.  The next documented attack from the IFLP occurred on May 2nd, 1990, when a firebomb was thrown at the offices of the Jordanian-Soviet Friendship Society in Amman.  The reasons for the attack, as stated by IFLP spokesmen, were to retaliate against the Soviets for plotting against the Palestinian cause, and to protest the emigration of Soviet Jews to the Palestinian region.  No one was killed or injured in the attack.   <br />
