The BRN's activities were severely curtailed in the late 1970s after a wave of arrests by Thai security forces. However, the organization is believed to continue to conduct attacks under the umbrella organization, Bersatu, along with other separatist groups in the region and remains a security threat in Thailand.

In March 2006, ETA declared a permanent cease-fire and expressed a willingness to join the political process. The decision may have been linked to the infamous Madrid train bombings of March 11th, 2004, which killed nearly 200 people. The attack was originally blamed on ETA, though it was soon discovered to be the work of militant Islamists linked to al-Qaeda. Like the Irish Republican Army, ETA leaders may have felt that the mass casualty terrorism practiced by some radical Islamist groups discredited its violent tactics -- though this is not known for certain. ETA is famous for its secretive leadership structure. <br /><p><br />In June 2007, ETA declared its March 2006 cease-fire null-and-void, though many had seen ETA's December 2006 bombing of an airport parking garage as an indication that the truce would not hold. An ETA spokesperson accused the Spanish government of interfereing in Basque local elections as well as continuing with the prosecution and conviction of ETA members during the cease-fire.<br /><p><br />It must be noted that ETA did not officially renounce violence or initiate steps to decommission its weapons (as the IRA did in July 2005) as part of its cease-fire declaration. ETA cease-fires have deteriorated into violence before.<br />

The Battalion of the Look-out for Iraq is a terrorist organization responsible for one attack in December 2005, the kidnapping of a French engineer, Bernard Planche. Planche was in Iraq as the head of mission for Aaccess, a non-governmental organization working on U.S.-funded water projects. Members of the Battalion released a video on December 28 demanding a halt to the 'illegal French presence' in Iraq and removal of French troops from the country. However, the French government has never sent troops to Iraq as part of the U.S.-led coalition and was one of the staunchest critics of the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003. Sources speculate that the Battalion may have been referring to the presence of French intelligence in Iraq and services that Planche may have provided to them. Planche was able to escape his abductors on January 7, 2006 when they fled as a result of searches being conducted in the area by Iraqi and U.S. troops.
