National Liberation Army (Colombia) -- Ally (Suspected)
Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) -- Ally (Suspected)

Group of People's Fighters, Group of Popular Combatants, People's Combatant Group

The National Liberation Army (ELN) and Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC) are suspected of training the People's Fighters Group

The People's Fighters Group was originally formed as the military branch of Ecuador's Marxist-Leninist Communist Party (PCMLE).  It is clear that the GCP is an active terrorist group, which maintains its Communist foundation.  The group has criticized several specific Ecuadorian government policies.  The GCP typically leaves pamphlets with their bombing attacks.  These pamphlets offer a range of excuses for the group's terrorist activity.  <P> The attached pamphlets have criticized current Ecuadorian President Lucio Gutierrez's economic policies.  Justifications also include protest of Plan Colombia, protest of Colombian president Alvaro Uribe who supported Plan Colombia, protest of Ecuadorian oligarchs and traitors, and protest against imperialist government policies.  The group has also engaged in terrorist activity in memory of the death of Che Guevara.

News reports from October 2003 indicate that the People's Fighters Group is based in the city of Cuenca.  However, the group has demonstrated the ability to attack targets throughout Ecuador.  From all indications, the People's Fighters Group remains committed to undermining the current Ecuadorian government.  At its core, the GCP is a terrorist organization intent on disrupting economic and government policies which are inconsistent with Communist beliefs.

Group of the Martyrs Mostafa Sadeki and Ali Zadeh

Group of the Martyrs Mostafa Sadeki and Ali Zadeh has not claimed responsibility for any attack since their disputed claims in the early 1990s.  It is highly unlikely that the organization will be responsible for further attacks.

Group Revolutionary Reconstruction (GRR) was a previously unknown group that claimed responsibility for a failed arson attack on the Federal Academy for Security Policy in Berlin, Germany in 2003.  Almost nothing is known about the group, but authorities reportedly received a letter from GRR claiming responsibility for the attack.  Although the claim was not released to the public, investigators said the letter echoed the sentiments of many left-wing extremist groups in Germany.  Officials also believe that GRR might have been responsible for a failed arson attack on a government consultant's car in 2002, and the firebombing of a car mistakenly thought to have belonged to a parliament member in 2000.
