For a Revolutionary Perspective was active for a two-day period in January 2001.  On January 2, the group planted one substantiated bomb and one unconfirmed explosive, both in Zurich, Switzerland.  The group's two claimed targets were the Turkish consulate (unsubstantiated) and the offices of the Israeli airline El-Al (confirmed).  Five days after the bomb attacks, the group published a manifesto, titled "Communique from Militants in Switzerland."  <P> In the communique, the group defends its terrorist actions as a protest against several separate institutions.  The group accuses Turkey of the massacre of Kurdish people.  In addition, For a Revolutionary Perspective criticizes Israel for aiding in Turkey's assaults on Kurdish guerillas.  More generally, the group expresses solidarity with the Intifada and criticizes Palestinian bourgeoisie who have "sold-out" the struggle.  And finally, in a seemingly unconnected criticism; For a Revolutionary Perspective threatens all capitalists and announces its intentions to terrorize future meetings of the World Economic Forum.

Despite its bombastic manifesto, For a Revolutionary Perspective has only been implicated in only one confirmed attack.  It is unknown whether For a Revolutionary Perspective is an active and operational group, merely a cover name for another group, or simply rogue terrorists that created a name to suggest a larger following than they actually have.

In July of 1993, the FBI arrested eight members of the Fourth Reich Skinheads.  The group's members had been plotting to attack several racially symbolic targets in Los Angeles, including the First African Methodist Episcopal Church.  They were also planning to assassinate Rodney King, Louis Farrakhan, and Al Sharpton.  They had already bombed several houses in Lakewood and Paramount and attacked the Temple Beth Synagogue in Westminster.  <br /><p>The group's purpose was to provoke a reaction from the African American and Jewish communities, which they hoped would be violent enough to begin a race war.  The Fourth Reich Skinheads were members of the World Church of the Creator, a racist group in Florida that encouraged its members to fight a "racial holy war" (or RAHOWA) against "mud" races.<br /><p>Fourth Reich Skinheads, like most skinhead groups, were a loosely organized network of young white people, most of whom were male.  According to some estimates, the group may have had as many as 50 members, while others believe it may have been as few as 18.  Police investigated the possibility that Fourth Reich Skinheads were tied with some of the other skinhead terrorists that were active on the west coast that summer, such as Jeremiah Gordon Knesal of the American Front.  No evidence of any organizational structure connecting the various skinhead groups was found.<br />
