The Anti-Racist Guerilla Nuclei is such a small group that it could almost be classified as non-existent.  The group only claimed one attack in 1999 and is almost certainly disbanded at this time.  Furthermore, it is a real possibility that this group never existed and was used as a cover name for an individual or a different terrorist organization.<p><p>In the only known message from the Anti-Racist Guerilla Nuclei, the group claims its one and only attack was to protest actions taken against immigrant centers.  The group also criticized the political class.

If the Anti-Racist Guerilla Nuclei was ever a "group," it assuredly ceased to exist sometime between its only attack in 1999 and today.  On February 14, 2002, Luca Giannasi was found guilty on explosives possession charges.  He was also accused but acquitted of organizing and perpetrating the bombing attributed to the Anti-Racist Guerilla Nuclei.   Giuseppe Fregosi, an acquaintance of Giannasi, claimed in a statement to police that he provided Giannasi with the explosive used in the bombing.  When called to testify in the trial, Giuseppe Fregosi refused to repeat his allegations.  Despite the recantation, it is possible that Luca Giannasi was the only member of the Anti-Racist Guerilla Nuclei.

Anti-State Action emerged as a terrorist threat in November of 1999, when it claimed responsibility for three attacks.  The attacks took place immediately before President Bill Clinton's visit to Greece.  The group described its first attack as a "welcome" for President Clinton.  Anti-State Action's most recent known attack was in March of 2000, when it bombed a Greek Orthodox radio station to protest against "Archbishop Christodoulos, prelate of Greece, and his frequent positions on everything and on every occasion."  Anti-State Action's dislike of Clinton is widely shared among Greeks.  The Greek public has had a long-standing grudge against the United States because they believe that the U.S. supported the military dictatorship that ruled Greece until 1974.  This animosity was revived by the U.S.-led bombing of Kosovo in 1999.  Greeks sympathized strongly with Serbs, who are also Orthodox Christians.  In the days before Clinton's visit, thousands of protesters staged a public trial and convicted the President of genocide and crimes against humanity for his role in the Kosovo bombing. <p> Anti-State Action's dislike of Archbishop Christodoulos, however, is not as widespread among Greek terrorists.  The Archbishop, who is deeply nationalist, is an extremely popular figure in Greece.  Anti-State Action's objection to the Archbishop may be related to the controversial efforts of church leaders to censor a novel that portrayed Jesus Christ as sexually active.<p><br />Some Greek newspapers have speculated that Anti-State Action is an ally of, or front for, the infamous Greek terrorist group <a href="Group.jsp?groupID=101">17N</a>.
