Nothing is known about Communist Revolutionaries in Europe other than the details of their only attack.  While the group's only attack took place in the Netherlands, the Communist Revolutionaries aimed their terrorism and rhetoric at the Islamic Republic of Iran.  The Communist Revolutionaries in Europe attacked the Iranian Embassy in the Hague to protest Iran's actions against the Iranian Kurdish people.  <P> The Communist Revolutionaries in Europe accused Iran of massacring Iranian Kurds, who constitute seven percent of Iran's population.  The group justified their attack as a protest against Iran's treatment of Kurdish people.  In addition, the group claimed that the Iranian Embassy in the Netherlands was a center for terrorists.

The Communist Revolutionaries in Europe have not been heard from since their one and only attack in February 1999.<br /><br />

The Communist Workers Movement was founded in late 2001 in Turkey. Although the group's name implies a political orientation, many of the actions for which group members confessed were simply criminal. <br /><p> Unlike many of Turkey's long-running terrorist threats, the Communist Workers Movement only survived long enough to carry out two attacks.<br />The group was apprehended and dismantled by the Turkish Intelligence Section and the Istanbul Counterterrorism Section in April 2003.  Caches of weapons, along with plans for further attacks, were also found in the group's two safe houses in Kadikoy and Umraniye.<br />

Actions by the Turkish security forces proved a deadly blow to the Communist Workers Movement, and the group is now presumed to be inactive.<br />

Conscientious Arsonists (CA) claimed responsibility for 62 firebombings between June 1997 and June 1998.  The group's primary targets were cars belonging to government officials, diplomats, journalists, and foreign companies.  CA has also bombed offices, including that of the press minister and the retired army officers' union. The group has said that its attacks are committed on behalf of Nikos Maziotis, whom police have arrested on suspicion of being a terrorist leader.  CA is opposed to the government's attempts to join the Euro area and its program of selling state-owned businesses.  "The state's recent attacks in various labor sectors positively prove that the price of monetary union is the exclusion and marginalization of the proletarian layers." (Bectaros, 6/16/1998)  It is not clear whether CA's April 1998 bombing of the Central Board of Jewish Communities is evidence that the group is anti-Semitic.
