The Internet Black Tigers have not been responsible for any terrorist activity since 1997.  However, IBT's founding group has been extremely active and dangerous during this period. As such, there is a real possibility that IBT could mount further cyber attacks either under its original moniker, or as the LTTE.

The primary French Basque Separatist Movement, Iparretarrak, emerged during a labor dispute in Behe-Nafarroa (a part of the Basque region under French jurisdiction) in December 1973.  In 1974 it began to publish the magazine Ildo (Road), and in 1978 Iparretarrak was declared illegal. Iparretarrak has increased its illegal activities in the Northern Basque Country since 1996.  One of the group's leaders, Philippe Bidart, was arrested in 1988 and is serving a jail sentence.  Iparretarrak's targets have been for the most part public and private property, security forces and its informants.  Less than fifteen percent of the Basque region and less than ten percent of its population are located within France, the rest is situated in northern Spain.  Although the primary Spanish Basque Separatist Movement, Euzkadi ta Azkatasuna (ETA), has concentrated most of its attacks on Spain, it has often used France as a safe-haven.

The group campaigns for full Basque autonomy.

The Iraqi Democratic Front is a political opposition group in Iraq.  The group first emerged in the early 1980s and presented the most visible opposition to Saddam Hussein's regime throughout the decade.  Comprised of Kurds in favor of democracy, the Iraqi Democratic Front primarily focused on demonstrations and activism by Iraqi exiles.  The group had strong ties to Communist groups in Arab nations, although it never explicitly declared itself to be in support of Communist causes.<br /><p><br />The Iraqi Democratic Front has only been linked to two terrorist attacks, both on September 22, 1982.  The group bombed the Iraqi Embassy and the Iraqi Airlines building in Vienna.  No motive was given for the attacks by the anonymous caller who claimed responsibility for the attack.<br />
