In December 1978, Vietnamese forces invaded Cambodia and removed Khmer Rouge from power.  However, Khmer Rouge was still a substantial threat and played a significant role in the civil war that continued for over a decade.   In 1991, the Paris Peace Accords were signed, which guaranteed democratic elections and a ceasefire.  Khmer Rouge broke the cease-fire at various periods between 1991 and 1998, reverting once again to its terrorist activities.  Khmer Rouge's ability to engage in significant terrorist actions decreased throughout the 1990s.  The remaining vestiges of Khmer Rouge surrendered on December 5, 1998, ending the Khmer Rouge insurgency.

Khristos Kasimis Revolutionary Group for International Solidarity

Revolutionary People's Struggle -- Umbrella Organization

The Khristos Kasimis Revolutionary Group for International Solidarity was a small terrorist organization that briefly engaged in anti-capitalistic activities in Greece during the late 1980s.  The group twice attempted to bomb the West German Embassy in Athens in order to show its support for the Red Army Faction's (RAF) hunger strikes.  It also caused minor amounts of damage in other attacks targeting American-owned banks and a statue of President Harry Truman.  This was most likely a reflection of both resentment towards the U.S.-supported military junta which ruled Greece until 1974 and the perception that Greece was still undemocratic in the 1980s.  These sentiments underlay the emergence of many different small-scale terrorist groups in Greece, of which Khristos Kasimis Revolutionary Group for International Solidarity is one. <p>Khristos Kasimis Revolutionary Group for International Solidarity has recently been identified by the Greek government as an offshoot of the Revolutionary Popular Struggle (ELA).  It is highly likely that a member of the ELA formed the group.  This group is thus one of many organizations that fell under the ELA umbrella. <p>An additional aspect of the Khristos Kasimis Revolutionary Group for International Solidarity which makes it but one of many groups of its type is the use of the name "Khristos Kasimis" in honor of a prominent Greek terrorist of the same name.  Kasimis, a founder of the ELA, was killed in 1977 while attempting to blow up a factory, although the identity of his killer is unknown.  The Khristos Kasimis Revolutionary Group in 1977, the Khristos Kasimis Organization in 2003, and many different small arsonist groups named "Khristos Kasimis" have all adopted similar names to the Khristos Kasimis Revolutionary Group but are almost certainly unrelated to the group which is responsible for the incidents in question.<br />
