It was founded in 1995 in Fruili, Italy.^[1] The extremist group is a secretive organization with a radical left-wing agenda. They primarily support communist and Marxist politics. There goal is to change Italy into a Marxist state. They are against the European Union. Terrorist attacks by the NTA have yet to of killed any people. They have only gone after property so far.^[2] So of their techniques include papering political offices with leaflets with warning of political assassinations that will be committed by there organization, but they have yet to carry any out. The actual size of the militant group is largely unknown, but is thought to be about twenty.^[3] They claimed responsibility for burning three US Army vehicles, this is the only attack geared toward the US so far. Their largest attacks were the bombings of the offices of the Federal Trade Institute and the Central European Initiative in Rome in 2000.^[3]
