The assassination attempt appears to be the only incident that potentially links WUFI with terrorist acts.  The evidence suggests that WUFI has not engaged in any subversive or terrorist activity since 1970, and the group's website specifically states their peaceful intentions to further the independence of Taiwan.  WUFI remains an active, international movement in drawing awareness to the issue of Taiwanese sovereignty

The Yanikian Commandos were an Armenian group named after Gourgen Yanikian, a fellow Armenian who was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison in 1973.  The group sought to attack Turkish targets in the U.S. in hopes to gain Yanikian's release from prison.  <P> Yanikian, a U.S. citizen, was responsible for the murders of Mehmet Baydar and Bahadir Demir, both Turkish diplomats working in the U.S.  On January 27th, 1973, Baydar and Demir agreed to meet with Yanikian in Los Angeles for what was supposed to be a friendly lunch.  Upon arrival, however, Yanikian shot both diplomats.  Later that year, the 78 year old Yanikian was convicted and sentenced to life in prison.  He was later paroled in 1984, but died shortly after his release.  Yanikian's crime is attributed to the long-standing Turkish-Armenian dispute regarding the extent of genocidal motives by the Turks against Armenians during World War I.  <P> Gourgen Yanikian was viewed as a hero by Armenian extremists, which resulted in several groups forming in his honor.  The Yanikian Commandos claimed an attack on the Turkish Information Office in New York on October 26th, 1973 when a smoke bomb was sent through the mail along with a letter demanding Yanikian's release.  The bomb however, was not detonated and no damage occurred.

The failed 1973 attack was the only mention of the Yanikian Commandos in the U.S.  In 1975, a group of the same name, along with the Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia (ASALA), claimed a bombing of the Turkish Information and Travel Bureau in Beirut.  However, since ASALA's base of operation was Lebanon, they were most likely responsible for the planning and operation of the attack.  With the release and subsequent death of Gourgen Yanikian, the Yanikian Commandos disbanded.  Former members choosing to remain active probably joined one of several Armenian nationalist groups.
