The FAI and its constituent groups remain active and present a threat to public safety in Italy and across Europe.<br />

Riyad us-Saliheyn Martyrs' Brigade -- Ally

The Ingush Jama'at Shariat has vowed to continue their attacks on "Russian colonists" and pro-Russian officials as long as the federal government rejects its claims for independence in the Caucasus region.  The apparent ties the group has with other terrorist organizations in the region will only serve to strengthen their resources and provide assistance in planning future attacks.

International Communist Group was responsible for two bombings on May 4, 1984.  The first bombing occurred at the Italian-U.S. Office for Cultural Exchanges.  The second bombing occurred at the Honduran embassy in Italy.  This group was only active on that one day and nothing is known about its goals or agenda.

International Communist Group is no longer active.

al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya (GAI) -- Umbrella Organization (Suspected)
al-Islambouli Brigades of al-Qaeda -- Faction

Although IJG has not been responsible for further terrorist violence, the GAI and other Egyptian Islamists allied with al-Qaeda have carried out several recent attacks in Egypt.  While IJG can be considered inactive, it is likely that members of the group have joined forces with these larger entities.  Islamist terrorism continues to be a major problem for the Egyptian government, and shows no signs of going away anytime soon.

International Revolutionary Action Group (GARI)

Basque Fatherland and Freedom (ETA) -- Ally (Suspected)

The Internationalist Revolutionary Armed Groups (Groupes d'Action R&eacute;volutionnaire Internationaliste - GARI) operated briefly in the 1970's in France, Spain and Belgium.  The group's ideology has never been completely coherent, as it was comprised of both Basque militants from Spain and French anarchists.  The group claimed it was dedicated to the "struggle for direct action against the Franco-ist dictator, against capital, against the state, for the liberation of Spain, of Europe and of the world."  It was also rumored to be the inspiration for the French communist terrorist group Action Directe.<br /><P><br />GARI's attacks occurred principally in Spain and against Spanish targets in Belgium, although it remained based in France.  Whether due to the influence of Basques within the group or its political ideology, or a combination of the two, GARI developed strong links to the ETA, with whom it was suspected of aiding in the bombing of the "Topo" trains between Madrid and Paris.<br />
