The Angry Brigade is an anarchist group based in Milan, Italy.   This group was first heard from on October 27, 1999.  Ironically, it was last heard from on October 27, 1999, as well.  Since October 1999, the group has not been credited with any activity, terrorist or otherwise.   The Angry Brigade took their name from a defunct anarchist group that operated in London of the 1970s and 1980s.  The only spelling difference between the groups is that the British group referred to themselves in the plural, the Angry Brigades. <p>  Besides the espousal of anarchist, anti-state, and anti-capitalist rhetoric, the two groups have another similarity.  Both groups perpetrated terrorist attacks in the name of specific anarchist individuals either imprisoned or deceased.  For propaganda purposes of the two Angry Brigade groups, they created martyrs out of criminals who also espoused anarchy.  In the names of these 'martyrs,' the groups perpetrated their terrorist activities.  <p> In the October 1999 incident, the Angry Brigade attached a letter along with their bombs.  In these letters, the group protested the jailing of a Greek anarchist Nikos Maziotis.  There are several Greek terrorist groups who also justify their terrorism under the banner of Nikos Maziotis.  It is possible that the Angry Brigade attack was perpetrated in hopes of strengthening ties between the Italian and Greek anarchist terrorists.

The Angry Brigade essentially existed for one day in 1999.  It is unknown whether the Angry Brigade was merely a cover name for another terrorist group or an individual.  Regardless, it is safe to assume that if the Angry Brigade ever existed as an independent terrorist organization, it has since disbanded.
