Although the Fez cell is inactive, other members of its network might be active in terrorist activities in Morocco, France, or elsewhere.

The Death Squad of Mujahideen of Iraq is a terrorist organization responsible for a lone kidnapping attack against a company providing logistical support to U.S. forces in the region. <P><br />On July 27, 2004, armed members of the group abducted three Jordanian truck drivers and a businessman who worked for a company that transports supplies to U.S. troops. Members of the group demanded the hostages' company cease operations in Iraq in exchange for their release. After hearing the hostages were being held in a house on the outskirts of Fallujah, a local tribal leader, Sheik Haj Ibrahim Jassam, led an armed raid against the group on August 3, 2004, freeing the four men. Sheik Jassam stated that the group holding the hostages was comprised of 'outsiders' although this information has not been confirmed. Poorly protected drivers are easy targets for Iraqi terrorists who seize them in order to convince their companies to cease operations and hamper reconstruction efforts. Several companies in the Middle East have halted work in Iraq after employees were kidnapped.<br />

Members of the Death Squad of Mujahideen of Iraq have not claimed responsibility for any terrorist attacks since 2004.  However, given the continued presence of U.S. forces in Iraq and the companies that supply them, it is possible that the group remains active, despite not being responsible for recent violence.  It is also somewhat likely that members of the group remain active within different insurgent organizations.

20 December National Liberation Movement

The December 20 Movement emerged after the U.S. invasion of Panama in December 1989.  Diplomatic relations between the United States and Panama had increasingly deteriorated throughout the 1980s.  Due to its involvement in the Panama Canal, the U.S. was invested in the ongoing issues in the Panamanian government.  Following a fraudulent election that elected General Manuel Noriega to the Panamanian presidency; the U.S. announced its intention to invade Panama, citing its obligations under a treaty to defend the Panama Canal.  <P> General Noriega was quickly ousted by U.S. forces.  Members of the Panamanian Defense Force (PDF), the military group that supported Noriega, were now out of a job.  Following Noriega's ouster, some unemployed PDF members re-formed to create an illegal terrorist organization, the December 20 Movement (M-20).  The group's primary objective was to destabilize the Panamanian government that had replaced Noriega.
