NTA is likely to continue with low-level attacks in the immediate future.  The group's persistent willingness to carry out small bombings over the last decade indicate a continuation of its efforts in the years to come.

The Committee for Promotion of Intransigence

The Committee for Promotion of Intransigence is a Greek group which has been responsible for a few small attacks in Thessaloniki and Kalamaria. The group's targets have been quite varied, ranging from a Eurobank ATM to a PASOK (Panhellenistic Socialist Movement, the ruling party of Greece at the time) office to car dealerships. The group almost exclusively uses gas canisters in its attacks. <P><br />The Committee for Promotion of Intransigence's political statements are very brief and tend to bemoan repression throughout Western Europe and the culture of consumerism in Greece. It has also called for the freedom of seven people arrested in Thessaloniki who disrupted an EU summit in Greece. The group is slightly more active than most Greek terrorist organizations which voice similar concerns, but is still relatively un-ambitious. <br />

The Committee for Promotion of Intransigence's past actions offer little insight into its future operations. It struck sporadically and infrequently in 2003 and 2004 and has not claimed responsibility for any attacks in 2005. The fact that it struck more than once indicates it is slightly more serious than many other Greek terrorist groups so the possibility of future attacks cannot be discounted. However, the group's recent inactivity casts doubt upon its dedication to future action.

The Extraditables were a group formed by drug traffickers of the Medell&iacute;n Cartel in order to prevent their extradition to the United States. Colombia's Turbay administration had made an agreement with the United States government to extradite certain cartel leaders for trials in the US legal system. Certain members of both governments at the time preferred that leaders of the cocaine cartels be sent to the United States as opposed to the Colombian judicial system, which was rife with corruption. <P><br />Colombian policy was murky, and cartel leaders feared extradition even after the Colombian Supreme Court annulled the Colombia -- United States extradition treaty in 1987. The Extraditables were formed in response to this ever-present threat, and focused their attacks on politicians and journalists suspected of supporting extradition. The most well-known figure involved with the group was Medell&iacute;n Cartel leader Pablo Escobar. In addition to their higher-profile kidnappings, the Extraditables are thought to be responsible for dozens of further murders of government officials.
