The New People's Army engaged in several rounds of government peace talks in the 1990s.  The peace talks did not successfully halt the NPA's terrorist activities.  Today, the group is considered a significant threat to the Filipino government.

Armed Communist Combatants, New Red Brigades for the Construction of the Fighting Communist Party, Red Brigades

The New Red Brigades is a splinter group of the Red Brigades, a terrorist group active in the 1970's and early 1980's.  When the Marxist-Leninist Red Brigades folded in 1984, two successor groups emerged, the New Red Brigades/Communist Combatant Party (BR-PCC)  and the New Red Brigades/Union of Combatant Communists (BR-UCC).  The BR/PCC has unequivocally chosen to follow the violent Communist path of the Red Brigades. Specifically, the BR-PCC is opposed to NATO and Italy's policies on labor and foreign relations.

The New Red Brigades continue to target high-ranking Italian businessmen and politicians.  These assassinations, coupled with other bombings and attacks, are ostensibly in pursuit of class struggle.  The BR-PCC also justifies these continuing attacks as blows against imperialism, specifically as it is represented within Italian economic policies and the NATO system. <p><p>In March 2002, the New Red Brigades assassinated Marco Biagi, an adviser to the Italian labor minister.  Following the assassination, the New Red Brigades published a statement claiming responsibility for the killing.  Notably, the statement commends the perpetrators of the September 11 attacks in the United States.  In their own words, the New Red Brigades express the "need for the forging of alliances between anti-imperialistic forces and revolutionary forces in the regions of Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East" (BBC News, Red Brigades admit killing).
