Strugglers for the Unity and Freedom of Greater Syria

Based on their statements and actions, the objective of the Strugglers for the Unity and Freedom of Greater Syria is to support Syrian influence in Lebanese affairs and silence critics of this policy.  As long as tensions remain high between the two countries, this group, whether or not they were actually perpetrators of their claimed attacks, can be considered a threat.

Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI)

Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) -- Ally (Suspected)
Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) -- Ally (Suspected)

SIMI is suspected to be funded by Hizb-ul-Mujahideen and  Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI)

Currently SIMI has gone completely underground, and little is known about their membership strength.  The group's current goals remain the overthrow of the current Indian government, and the initiation of world-wide jihad.  The group is still suspected of having ties with various terrorist groups and Pakistani organizations, but no concrete proof exists of these links.  In any case, SIMI can be considered fully active, and a serious threat to public safety in India.

As the SPLA has become a mainstream political force within Sudan, its interest in using terrorism as a means of achieving its goals has waned.  On January 9th, 2005, the SPLA signed a peace agreement with the Khartoum regime, officially ending the Civil War that had ravaged Sudan since 1983.  Under the terms of the agreement, southern Sudan will gain religious autonomy and a share of the nation's oil wealth.  After the 6-year period of autonomy, residents of the South will vote on a referendum on whether to remain a part of Sudan or form an independent nation.  Observers both inside and outside of Sudan hope that this peace agreement can also help resolve the violent humanitarian crisis going on in the Darfur region of western Sudan.

The Supporters of Horst Ludwig Meyer were formed to protest the shooting of Mr. Meyer, a notorious terrorist of the Red Army Faction.  The communists of the Red Army Faction were active between 1978 and 1992, killing sixty three people in attacks on military and industrial facilities across Europe.  Although the group ceased operating after 1992, authorities continued hunting RAF members.  In September 1999, Meyer, and his terrorist girlfriend, Andrea Klump, were finally tracked down by Austrian police in Vienna.  The exchange of fire that ensued left Klump in custody, a policeman injured, and Horst Ludwig Meyer dead.  Red Army Faction sympathizers immediately began questioning the official version of events, claiming instead that Meyer had been shot by police in cold blood.  The Supporters of Horst Ludwig Meyer went beyond verbal protestation, lobbing four Molotov cocktails at the Austrian embassy in Denmark.  Fortunately for the embassy staff, three of the homemade devices failed to burst into flames.  The fourth Molotov cocktail did explode, causing some damage to the embassy but no injuries.
