No recent attacks have been claimed by FARP. However, the group continues to issue communiqu&#233;s and should be considered active and capable of future attacks given the continued economic and political tension in southern Mexico.

Kakumeigun, Japanese for "Revolutionary Army," is a terrorist organization that has been active since 2000.  Kakumeigun has strongly protested against the deployment of Japanese troops to Iraq.  The groups also criticized any potential plans of Japan, South Korea, or the U.S. to attack North Korea.  However one feels about this group's ideological beliefs, these anti-war terrorists went beyond legal protest when they bombed government facilities.  The group claimed these violent actions were carried out to dissuade the Japanese government from pursuing military actions against Iraq or North Korea. <P> <br />In addition to targeting government facilities, Kakumeigun also targeted an educational organization. The group attacked the offices of the Japanese Society for History Textbook Reform, an organization that has authored recent school textbooks.  The textbook reform group was targeted because of their supposedly right-wing and excessively nationalistic descriptions of Japanese history.  Specifically, the educational group was criticized for insensitivity towards neighboring countries that Japan had previously invaded, such as South Korea and China.

U.S. intelligence reports from 2000 posited that Kakumeigun could potentially be a cover name for another terrorist organization, Kakurokyo.  However since 2000, continued terrorist actions have been claimed by Kakumeigun and definite evidence of its use as a cover name has not been proved.  Kakumeigun continues to protest the deployment of Japanese troops to Iraq.

The Dominican Republic's Revolutionary Army of the People (Ej&eacute;rcito Revolucionario del Pueblo -- ERP) was a short-lived group that only carried out two attacks in its history, both on the same day and both on American business targets. From its name, tactic and choice of targets, it can be assumed that this group's ideology was similar in nature to that of Latin America's other left-wing insurgent groups, who resented American "neocolonialism" and support for right-wing regimes.
