How many terrorist organizations are there in the world. Extremist and terrorist organizations: a list. Active terrorist organizations

Terrorist organizations never sit still, they are in constant motion and do not have a fixed location. One of the most important principles of such an organization is secrecy. For this reason, only leading persons always aware of the goals of certain actions and the territory in which they will be undertaken. Our today's list is an attempt to describe the ten most dangerous terrorist organizations in the world, their goals, what made them famous and other interesting information. People often use the term "terrorism" as a general term for violent acts carried out by militants in the Middle East, but they miss the many other organizations that operate in the rest of the world. The most famous terrorist attack to date is the September 11 attack on the Twin Towers in New York, for which al-Qaeda claimed responsibility. To prevent further tragedies, the governments of many countries are trying to do everything possible to curb the unbridled terrorist groups.

10. PKK

The PKK is an abbreviation for the Kurdistan Workers' Party and operates in Turkey. The main reason for their destructive activities is the desire for independence from Turkey, which makes their goals purely political. The radical group arose as a result of years oppression of the Kurds. They strive for a socialist political structure and universal gender equality. The organization has been active since 1984 and currently has over 7,000 members. Unfortunately, very often members of the organization resort to violent measures to achieve their goals, as a result of which they were blacklisted by NATO and a number of other countries.

9 Revolutionary Armed Forces Of Colombia


The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia is a left-wing rebel group in Colombia, also known as the FARC. And although they were not officially recognized as a terrorist organization, the group was seen in a number of human rights violations and was blacklisted by some countries. The organization has been operating since 1946 and promotes an ideology similar to Marxism, socialism and nationalism. FARC participate in trafficking drugs, kidnappings, the use of child soldiers, executions, and many others misconduct.

8. Hamas


The Hamas group is an Islamist anti-Semitic movement spreading throughout Palestine. Members of this group support the ideas of neo-Nazism. Many of the actions of Hamas were perceived as war crimes, among which the use of weapons against Israel occurs on an ongoing basis. One of Hamas' worst practices is their habit of using children as human shields and also as suicide bombers. They are notorious for massive violations of human rights and are considered one of the deadliest terrorist organizations active in our time.

7. Al-Shabaab


The Al Shabab organization got warm place on our list due to the fact that he practices recruiting children into his ranks, works closely with Al-Qaeda and engages in poaching, exterminating tens of thousands of elephants every year. In pursuit of valuable ivory, they kill both animals and their protectors. This group operates in Somalia and monitors the observance of Sharia law in rural areas. According to some estimates, about 6,000 people are involved in the organization.

6. Ku Klux Klan


The Ku Klux Klan, commonly abbreviated as the KKK, is one of the oldest terrorist organizations on our list. Founded in the United States in 1865, the KKK initially promoted the superiority of the white race over the rest and did it in a rather bloody way. Although the KKK has undergone great changes after so many years, its core ideology has remained the same. Currently, about 8,000 people are involved in this organization, for comparison, in 1920 it included 4 million people. However, one cannot deny its enormous influence on the history of mankind and the promotion of racism.

5. Jabhat al Nusra


The Jabhat al Nusra movement was formed in 2012 in response to the Syrian war. It quickly gained momentum and became one of the deadliest in the world. Jabhat al Nusra seeks to restore the Caliphate and return legitimate power to Muhammad's heir. Many note the close connection of this organization with al-Qaeda. The group is known for its rejection of non-Islamic countries and individuals. They regularly train suicide bombers and carry out mass executions of infidels.

4. Taliban

The Taliban are known for massive human rights abuses, killings of civilians, targeted destruction of food supplies, and spreading gender inequality. And although their regime was overthrown in 2001, it quickly recovered and today their ranks include more than 60,000 people. The Taliban are also known for their links to other terrorist organizations.

3. Boko Haram


The Boko Haram group operates in Nigeria. In every terrorist attack they organize, at least 7 people die, which puts them in third place on our list, based on lethality. Literally, Boko Haram translates as “Western education is prohibited.” The main goal of the organization is the introduction of Sharia throughout Nigeria and the eradication of the Western way of life. Boko Haram chooses its victims based on their degree of separation from Sharia. The organization is responsible for the kidnapping of 200 schoolchildren in June of this year. From June 2009 to July 2014, the number of victims was 5,000. The organization continues its activities to this day, seeking to eliminate all forms of education and enlightenment in the world.

2. Al-Qaeda


Al-Qaeda is synonymous with the September 11 tragedy when the Twin Towers in New York City collapsed. Osama bin Laden became a household name overnight, and although he was assassinated in 2011, al-Qaeda still retained its power and influence. She is currently under the direction of Ayman al-Zawahiri, an Egyptian doctor who has a $25 million bounty on his head. On the this moment al-Qaeda has even more power in its hands than under bin Laden. The organization operates primarily in the Middle East. Its population numbers in the thousands. Supporters of al-Qaeda preach the observance of radical Sharia and its promotion through terrorism and other violent methods. The actions of this particular organization unleashed a war with the United States, which led to hundreds of thousands of victims.

1. ISIS


The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant is the most active terrorist organization on our list. Formed in 2004, this organization advocates a return to the original interpretation Islamic texts promoting Sharia and the forcible spread of Islam. Their latest victims include journalist James Foley, as well as numerous acts of executions of women and children.

Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades (Palestine). Exists since 2000. According to the Israeli intelligence services, this organization has several leaders, including international terrorists Nasser Badawi and Maslama Thabet. "Brigades" organize bombings using suicide bombers, including women. The organization is financed from the budget of the Fatah party. Yasser Arafat denies his involvement in the activities of the "Brigades", however, according to the assumptions of the special services, it is from his foreign accounts that money is transferred to finance the movement. Thus, in June 2002, Israel provided exhaustive evidence of the direct transfer of 20,000 US dollars from Arafat's account to the account of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades.

"Armed Islamic Group" (GIA, Algeria). In 1992, a bloody civil war began in Algeria, during which the GIA tried to defend its interests and fight for power in the country. The main goal of the organization is a military coup in Algeria and the establishment of an Islamic state. Antar Zuabri has been the leader of the GIA since 2002. On the account of the GIA there are terrorist attacks both in Algeria and in France. So, in 1994, members of the group seized an Air France plane, in 1995 they organized several explosions in France. In December 1999, at the US-Canadian border, police managed to detain GIA member Ahmed Ressam, who, according to some reports, is also involved in al-Qaeda activities. According to American intelligence officials, the GIA is one of the cells of the Al-Qaeda global network and supplies its militants to carry out its goals. The group is financed mainly by robberies of the population of Algeria, as well as monetary donations from Algerians living in Western Europe.

"Aum Shinrikyo" (Japan). The religious sect professes the cult of their leader Shoko Asahara and the ideas of the apocalypse. The sect was classified as a terrorist organization only after it carried out a gas attack using sarin on the Tokyo subway in 1995. The largest terrorist attack in the history of Japan was organized in order to "bring the end of the world closer." After the attack, many members of Aum Shinrikyo were imprisoned. Among them was Shoko Asahara, who was charged with 17 crimes by the Tokyo police at once, including terrorist activities, drug trafficking, murders and kidnappings. After 1995, the organization changed its name to Aleph. At the moment it consists of two thousand sectarians, whose donations are the main source of funding.

ETA (Spain). The terrorist organization "Basque Fatherland and Freedom" is a left-wing radical movement of ethnic Basques. the main objective pursued by the terrorists is the creation of an independent Basque state in northern Spain and southwestern France. ETA was formed in 1959 by a group of young activists in response to General Franco's dictatorial measures against the Basque population. The members of the ETA chose the teachings of Marx as their official ideology. The target of the Basque separatists are officials and government agencies in Spain. "Corporate style" ETA became explosive devices with a clockwork or remote control, about which the terrorists warn the police in advance. The latest high-profile terrorist attack in Spain, in which ETA was suspected, was the Madrid train bombings. However, after the leaders of Al-Qaeda officially claimed responsibility for organizing these attacks, ETA was cleared of suspicion. There is no single leader among the Basque separatists. The main sources of funding for the organization are funds received as a ransom for kidnapped people, drug trafficking, as well as interest from banking operations carried out in the Basque Country.

Hamas (Palestine). As a movement of Palestinian Islamic fundamentalists, Hamas acts as the main opponent of peace and the achievement of agreements between Palestine and Israel. Hamas is a powerful opposition to the Arafat government. Professing fundamentalist ideas and adhering to a policy of hardline nationalism, members of Hamas are among the most implacable enemies of Israel. Hamas was formed in the wake of the Palestinian uprising against the Israeli authorities in late 1987. The group's activists immediately launched terrorist activities in the Gaza Strip. In total, they are responsible for more than 200 killed and thousands injured as a result of suicide bombings. Until recently, Hamas was led by the ideological leader and inspirer of all Islamic fundamentalists, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin. After Yassin was eliminated as a result of an Israeli intelligence operation, Hamas was led by a new leader, Abdel Aziz al-Rantissi. He previously served as press secretary terrorist group.

Cash flow, annually received for the needs of Hamas, is estimated at an average of 30 million US dollars. This money mainly comes from the organization's supporters in Saudi Arabia and other oil-exporting countries in the Persian Gulf.

Hezbollah (Lebanon). A group of Lebanese Shiites fighting for the creation of a fundamentalist Islamic state modeled on Iran. The name of the group is translated as "the party of Allah." Unlike other terrorist organizations, Hezbollah even has its own political representation (its members occupy 128 seats in the Lebanese parliament) and from time to time makes agreements with its opponents. In particular, in January of this year, by mutual agreement, Hezbollah and the Israeli government held an exchange of prisoners. A period of particularly active terrorist activities organization dates back to the 90s, when members of the group managed to organize a series of explosions in Lebanon and Argentina, as well as regularly kidnap American citizens. The leader of the organization is Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, and the US State Department names Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah as its spiritual leader. The main sponsors of the movement are the governments of Syria and Iran.

The spiritual leader of the group is Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, who is being held in an American prison. The organization's sources of funding are unknown, however, according to the US State Department, "it is covered by the Sudanese and Iranian governments."

Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK, Turkey). It has been operating since 1973. Using Marxist slogans, the party pursues as its goal the formation of a single communist Kurdish state. Since 1980, the PKK has been actively cooperating with the Syrian government, which provided Kurdish separatists with ideological and material support. In the mid-80s, the Kurdish uprising against the Turkish government turned into bloody battles. PKK militants and guerrillas organized suicide bombings, kidnapped tourists and terrorist attacks against Turkish embassies in Europe. The wave of violence that swept Turkey at that time turned into the death of more than 30 thousand civilians. Throughout the 1990s, PKK activists used all possible forms and methods to deal with the Turkish government. Explosions of resort places, attacks on Turkish embassies and representative offices in six countries of Western Europe at once, acts of vandalism against state symbols Turkey continued until the capture in 1999 of the leader of the Kurdish terrorists, Abdullah Ocalan. After the latter fell into the hands of the Turkish secret services, the party officially renounced terrorist activities.

Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (Sri Lanka). The organization originated in 1976 on the island of Sri Lanka, its activists seek the creation of an independent Tamil state. Since 1983, the Tigers have been waging a bloody civil war with the government, using guerrilla and terrorist methods. During this time, guerrillas and suicide bombers killed 60,000 people. In the early years of their existence, the Tigers trained in the camps of the Palestine Liberation Organization. Now the number of supporters of this organization is 10 thousand people. The organization receives money from the drug trade and from the numerous Tamil diasporas scattered around the world.

Irish Republican Army (IRA, Northern Ireland). The organization has been fighting for 85 years against the "illegal British occupation" and the Unionists (or Loyalists - Irish Protestants loyal to the British crown) of Northern Ireland and advocates its unification with the Irish Republic. The IRA began its activities on January 21, 1919 with the murder of two Irish royal constables, accused of having agreed to serve the British. On the same day, the political party of the Irish nationalists "Sinn Fein" at a general meeting adopted the "Declaration of Independence of Ireland". One of the main milestones in the history of the IRA is considered July 21, 1972, when 21 explosions thundered in Belfast alone, as a result of which 9 people were killed and several hundred more were injured. In 1984, the IRA organized an assassination attempt on British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Terrorists blew up the Grand Hotel in Brighton, where the Iron Lady was staying, but Thatcher was not injured. The IRA currently has 1,000 fighters. The terrorists receive financial and political assistance from the Irish diaspora in the United States, Libya and the PLO supplied weapons and explosives to Ireland. According to the world intelligence services, the IRA is part of the so-called "red belt", a community of international separatist organizations, which also includes ETA (Basque Country), FARC (Colombia) and some others.

In 1998, Sinn Féin and the Unionists signed a peace treaty (the so-called "Good Friday Treaty") on the joint administration of Northern Ireland. In 2002, four members of Sinn Fein even became members of the British Parliament.

Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and National Liberation Army (ELN). FARC, the largest Marxist terrorist organization, has 18,000 fighters who control almost half of the territory of Colombia: the jungles of the south and the foothills of the Andes. The forces of the ANO are much smaller, with 8,000 fighters in its ranks, whose bases are located in the north. The militants of these two organizations annually abduct more than three thousand people. Of all the abductions that occur in the world, 60% are committed in Colombia. In particular, the revolutionaries kidnapped and killed former minister Culture of Colombia Consuelo Araujo Noguera, Senator Marto Catalina Daniels, Green Presidential Candidate Ingrid Betancourt, Antioquia Governor Guillermo Gaviria, and former Defense Minister Gilberto Echeverria. Hostages are needed by the rebels in order to exchange them for comrades-in-arms who are in government prisons; they are also a constant source of income for terrorists. In addition, according to the Economist magazine, Colombian guerrilla groups earn from drug trafficking and racketeering, receiving up to 250-300 million dollars a year from the latter. In 1998, the US Congress passed the "Plan Colombia", which allocated $1.7 billion to Bogotá to eliminate the drug trade.

Al Qaeda. An international terrorist organization with autonomous underground cells in 50 countries, including the USA, Great Britain, Germany, Spain, and France. Even if its founder, Osama bin Laden, is captured or destroyed, it is unlikely to cease to exist, since it is “magnificently created to function without a head” (opinion of Michel Flournoy, an expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. - GAZETA). A native of Saudi Arabia, the son of a millionaire and a millionaire himself, a veteran of the war in Afghanistan, bin Laden created his organization in 1988. To do this, he used all the experience and connections gained in Maktab al-Kidamat, a network created with the direct participation of the CIA to recruit volunteers around the world who want to take part in jihad against the USSR. During the years of the war in Afghanistan, a large group of professional soldiers capable of waging an effective guerrilla war has been formed. Afghan veterans became the backbone of bin Laden's new organization. Since 1994, Sudan has become the main base of Al-Qaeda, where Osama bin Laden creates a developed infrastructure and training bases for his offspring. His firms are involved in road construction, banking, export-import operations, satellite communications. These enterprises bring in tens of millions of dollars in income, which allows you to support and train a small army. In May 1996, under US pressure, the Sudanese government forced bin Laden to leave the country, and he had to move to Afghanistan. The Taliban gave al-Qaeda safe haven, and the terrorist organization in turn provided the fledgling regime financial support.

Al-Qaeda's main goal is to establish an Islamic order around the world based on Sharia. According to the leaders of the organization, not only the United States and the entire Western world, but also moderate Islamic regimes are among the enemies of Muslims. In 1998, bin Laden announced the formation of the Islamic World Front Against Jews and Crusaders. It included terrorist groups: Islamic Jihad, Gamaat al-Islamiya, the Yemeni Islamic Army of Aden, the Kashmiri Lashkar-e-Taiba, the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, the Abu Sayyaf Group and others. However, each of these organizations acts absolutely independently, and the general goals of the Front are determined by the "shura", headed by bin Laden himself. The attacks planned and carried out by Al-Qaeda include: August 7, 1998 - the bombing of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania; October 2000 - the explosion of the US Navy destroyer Cole; September 11, 2001 - the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York and the west wing of the Pentagon building in Washington.

The most famous terrorist of the 20th century, Ilyich Shakal, received another term April 8th, 2017

You think now the explosion of terrorism in the world. However, it is not. was the period from 1973 to 1991. Somehow, with the collapse of the USSR, the number of terrorist attacks sharply began to decline, and even after 2001 the level remained quite low compared to that intense period. In addition to the Palestinians, terror was carried out by militants trained in Moscow/Berlin/Sofia/Prague from different countries peace. They came to all sorts of universities like Lumumba, and returned as graduates of terror. One of these was Ilyich Ramirez Sanchez, better known by the pseudonym Carlos Jackal.

international terrorist Carlos Jackal born in Venezuela, name " Ilyich"he was given by his Marxist father in honor of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. He received his education in Moscow at the University of Peoples' Friendship (now - RUDN University). In 1970, he was trained in the camp of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

Nickname " Jackal " Ilyich Ramirez Sanchez received from journalists: during a search in his room, they found a book by the writer Frederick Forsyth "Day of the Jackal" - it described an attempt to kill the President of France Charles de Gaulle by the hands of a hired killer, and the underground right-wing radical group acted as the customer.

About myself Carlos Jackal told that " killed more than anyone in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and took responsibility for the deaths of 80 people.

In 1994, Sudanese authorities arrested and extradited Carlos France. Where he received a life sentence.

And the other day another trial was held on one of the episodes of his activities. Sanchez he was accused of throwing a grenade into a cafe on September 15, 1974 - two people were killed and 34 were injured.

Carlos Jackal sentenced to life in prison for the third time.

At the beginning of the hearing, the defendant stated that " the absurdity of the process, which takes place 43 years after the actual events".

During the trial, when asked what his profession is, Carlos Jackal replied that he professional revolutionary". He said that after 20 years in prison he had " everything is fine".

For two decades Carlos Jackal was directly involved or was the organizer of terrorist attacks, including the hijacking and hijacking of an Israeli airline and the hostage-taking at OPEC headquarters in Vienna. He allegedly planned an attack on Radio Liberty's office in Munich in 1981.

"Yes, I'm sorry - since I'm kind, I didn't kill the people I should have killed.", - he answered the judge's question about remorse for his deed.

He participated in the activities of not only terrorist cells associated with Palestine, but also helped other terrorist organizations. The verdict handed down by the Paris court is connected with one of these episodes.

In September 1974, the group " Japanese Red Army "captured the French embassy in The Hague. The terrorists demanded the release of one of the members of the group, a million dollars and a plane, but the negotiations stalled.

To convince the French side to accept the terrorists' demands, Carlos Jackal went to the popular Drugstore cafe, went up to the balcony and threw a grenade into the hall. Two people died, another 34 were injured. The requirements of the embassy invaders were partially satisfied - they were given $300,000 and provided with a plane, which eventually landed in Syria. One of the participants in the seizure of the embassy is still officially on the international wanted list.

First life sentence Carlos Jackal received in 1997, the second - in 2011. He was found guilty of killing three policemen in 1975, organizing four bombings in Paris and Marseille, and attacking trains that killed 11 people and injured about 150.

Carlos Jackal suspected of receiving money as from the late leader of Iraq Saddam Hussein, and from the dictator of Libya Muammar Gaddafi. These links have never been proven.
