The Communist Combatant Cells (CCC) was a Belgian terrorist organization loosely committed to a communist ideology.  The group was active for less than two years in the mid-1980s, primarily engaged in bombings within Belgium's borders.  While the group was based in Belgium, their goals and targets were predominately international.  CCC attacked perceived enemies of communism, specifically the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), U.S. and international business firms, and the Belgian Employers Association.  <P> The Communist Combatant Cells primarily targeted property rather than human representatives of capitalism, NATO, and the like.  Nevertheless, CCC bombings led to several injuries and two deaths.  In December 1985, police arrested CCC founder and leader Pierre Carette.  His murder conviction on January 14, 1986 essentially eliminated the Communist Combatant Cells.

The Communist Combatant Cells has not been active since 1985.

The Communist Liberation Faction claimed credit for several small terrorist incidents in Marousi, Greece in February 2005.  On February 1st the group claimed to have set fire to a Kiss FM radio station van as well as to the Khalandri Tax Office.  In a claim of responsibility the group stated that the attacks were a response to the "oppressive" Greek government and intended to establish "an atmosphere of terrorism-hysteria."  No one was injured in the attacks. <P><br /><br />Several weeks later the group claimed responsibility for another attack on a "Social Security Institution."  In this claim, the group stated that the attack was in solidarity with "a former comrade," Mitsos Aivatzidhis, who apparently was struggling with a drug addiction and may have been in jail because of it (the claim was unclear).  <P><br /><br />Communist Liberation Faction is one of many small Greek arsonist groups known as <a href="http://tkb.org/Glossary.jsp#G"> "Gas Guys."</a>  These groups use arson to voice their discontent with Greek government policy and often espouse vague leftist or anarchist ideologies.  <br /><br /><br />
