The FPS has had little media attention since 1999 but may continue to exist as part of MONADESO.  Former FPS leader Jorge Gamboa Arosemena is currently the leader of the Panamenist Action Movement (MAPA).  On December 31st, 1999, as directed by the Torijjos-Carter Treaties, the U.S. turned over to Panama complete authority of the canal, effectively terminating the U.S. presence in the country.  FPS's claim of the September 1992 Panama City bombings cannot be verified, and both MONADESO and MAPA appear to be legitimate organizations active in Panamanian politics rather than terrorist entities.

Spanish National Action -- Ally (Suspected)

The Spanish Basque Battalion (BVE) was a paramilitary organization active from 1975 to 1981.  Despite its misleading name, the Spanish Basque Battalion was primarily active in the Basque region of France, not Spain.   The group's modi operandi were assassinations and attacks against suspected members of Basque separatist terrorist groups, specifically ETA.  The BVE was one of a number of terrorist groups formed to counter the continuing terrorist actions of Basque separatists.  The counterrevolutionary Spanish Basque Battalion instigated attacks in the Basque region of France with the intent to decrease ETA's ability to attack Spanish citizens and facilities.

Despite the ongoing terrorism in the Basque region today, the more potent counterrevolutionary paramilitary groups have been inactive since the late 1980s.  The Spanish Basque Battalion has been inactive since 1981.

Spanish Basque Battalion -- Ally (Suspected)

Spanish National Action is responsible for two acts of terrorism, both directed against the terrorist group Basque Fatherland and Freedom (ETA). ETA caused a reign of terror throughout France and Spain and, in retaliation, a number of groups formed to retaliate. Their actions, however, often indiscriminately targeted civilians with no links to the ETA. Some of these groups, including Spanish National Action, were believed to have been funded and organized by the Spanish government and security forces. One of these groups, the Spanish Basque Battalion (BVE) is held responsible for one of the attacks also claimed by Spanish National Action. It remains unknown precisely whether there were two distinct groups or if Spanish National Action was an alias for the BVE.
