The Nihilists Faction is presumed inactive and further attacks are not expected.

The Ninawa Mujahideen in the city of Mosul was a terrorist group opposed to the democratic elections in Iraq, believing that they do not have a basis in Islam. Mosul, Iraq's third largest city, is the capital of the northern province of Ninawa. <p> On January 26, 2005, members of the organization abducted three Iraqi Independent Electoral Commission workers. The organization claimed responsibility in a video in which they threatened to attack election campaign and voter registration centers in the area. While several polling centers throughout Iraq were attacked prior to the elections, none of the attacks were publicly claimed by the Ninawa Mujahideen. The whereabouts or status of the hostages remains unclear. Intimidating tactics, such as threats, kidnappings, and bombings were often employed by insurgents against election workers and potential voters prior to the national elections held in 2004 and 2005.

Members of the Ninawa Mujahideen in the city of Mosul have not claimed any subsequent attacks. As the elections for the Iraqi National Assembly were held on January 30, 2005 and the group did not claim any attacks around the December 15, 2005 elections, it is reasonable to assume the Ninawa Mujahideen in the city of Mosul is inactive.  However, given the current security situation in Iraq, it is likely that members of the group remain active in the insurgency under different organizations.

Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia (ASALA) -- Founding Group

The Ninth of June Organization was composed of members of the Armenian Secret Liberation Army (ASALA) who wanted to force Switzerland to free an imprisoned comrade.  ASALA was the most well-known, well-organized, and prolific of the Armenian terrorist groups of the 1970's and 1980's.  Its primary objective was to increase awareness of the Armenian genocide committed by Turkey in 1915 and to secure the establishment of an independent Armenian state in Northern Turkey.  On June 9, 1981, Swiss authorities arrested ASALA operative Mardiros Jamgotchian for murdering a Turkish diplomat in Geneva.  Ten days later, ASALA operatives, acting as the "Ninth of June Organization," bombed the Swissair offices in Tehran.  Throughout the summer and fall Swiss targets both in Switzerland and abroad were attacked, including the Swiss parliament building and the Swiss Banking Corporation in Los Angeles.  In fifteen bombings between June 19th, 1981 and January 17, 1982, the organization created a good deal of fear but caused only a handful of injuries and no deaths.  Their methods ultimately proved unsuccessful as the Swiss government refused to release Jamgotchian, who was convicted of murder and sent to prison in December 1981.  <br />
