Description The aim of this paper is to analyze the strategy and tactics of the of extreme left terrorism in Europe. Traditional red terrorist organizations (combatant communist parties like the RAF, the BR etc.) have been replaced by small militant groups, by violent militancy campaigns, by anti-globalist violence or by "single-issue" terrorism. The militant extreme left may itself be both a direct and indirect ally to other forms of terrorism, including Islamist terrorism.
