Current or any time?
The Red Army Faction (also called the Baader-Meinhof gang) in West Germany was kind of interesting, and is not well known - so that might make for an interesting presentation. |

Hamas is a good start.
Hizbollah would be another one. You could even conclude with a big zinger that because of how closely intertwined Quuds Force and Iranian govt money is with Hizbollah, that the whole of the Iranian Government and Revolutionary Guard are actually terrorist groups. |

I say the Canadians. Anyone that talks like they do and live in that kind of cold has to be thinking of overthrowing our country. Either them or the people that work at Papa John's. They're all Italian terrorists right?

Despite 4s rosy reputation amongst the gala-going glitterati, it has been involved in assassinations and bombings. 5 and 6 are currently internationally influential Sunni fundamentalist groups. 7 and 8 are notable because they are opponents of Russia and were home to Shamil Basayev, who was responsible for the 2004 Beslan school massacre. 9 is interesting because they had two branches in the USA operating as charities. |

The Algerians, FLN, they are one of the few terrorist groups that actually won against a determined opponent. Chased the French out of Algeria, caused the fall of the Fourth Republic, allowed the final rise to power of DeGaulle.
These may be the only terrorists that won, I can't think of any others. Some terrorists had the other side give up and pull out but these suckers won and it was one of the nastiest dirtiest wars on both sides ever fought. |

Tamil Tigers.....they just gave up and quit a while ago. Well,it sure took a hell of a lot of convincing for them to finally give up! The last of them finally got over-run in May or June of this year. LTTE really pioneered the art of the suicide attack.They weren't the first but they took the banner of stupid and ran with it before it became cool for Islamist fundies to do it on a regular basis. |

And there were some elements that were entirely Marxist... The IRA was supported by the Soviets as a 'war of national liberation', just like the various other 'Liberation' organizations/movements worldwide, including the PLO (which was also a good deal socialist/marxist more than Islamist... Which is why you had the PLO, *and* Hezbollah/Hamas). |
