Foreign Terrorist Organization List

Conflict Class Members-

Here is a list of foreign terrorist organizations as labeled by the US State Department. I have highlighted, in yellow, the organizations that could possibly be related to one of the arms races in your set of cases. If you have an arms race that is post-1945, be sure to check this list and examine ANY linkages between the arms race and the terrorist organization. ANY linkage could mean formation, funding once it began, or a whole host of other connections. If your countries or your time periods overlap the terrorist group, make sure you investigate the group fully.

UPDATE: Here is a list of insurgency groups for every country. I have no idea if this list is exhaustive, so there may be insurgencies in your countries that are not listed here. So, at the very least, be sure to investigate these insurgencies to determine if your arms races started or provided funding for these groups.

I found a good website for terrorist organizations around 1992.

Thanks for the great find. It looks like there are some cases not mentioned in the later report on FTOs.
