Carrying out severity and adverse psychological impact, terrorist groups are the biggest threat to any civilian of any country. Based on their barbarism and promulgated as the most wanted by governments across the world, Topyaps is exploring this list of ten most notorious terrorist groups.

10. Armed Islamic Group of Algeria (GIA):

With an endeavor to overrule the Algerian government, this terrorist group was founded in July 1992 and became notorious in 1994, after hijacking the “Air France Flight 8969″. Since then it has conducted a deadly crusade of killing innocent civilians, bombarding public places, kidnapping and raping in its area of operation. This terrorist group asserts the ideology that  “political pluralism is equivalent to sedition”. This creed was generated in 1992, after a controversial decision of Algeria’s Military Government which blocked the political ways of a mainstream Islamic party, Islamic Salvation Front.

9. Aden-Abyan Islamic Army:

Associated to the Islamic Jihad Movement, this Islamic terrorist group works with the motive to contend against the secularism in Arab countries, significantly in Yemen. This organization was spotlighted in December 1998, after kidnapping 16 foreign tourists in Abyan in which four of the hostages were killed in the rescue operation conducted by the Yemeni security forces.

8. Jamaat Ansar al-Sunna:

Founded in September 2003, this Iraqi guerrilla force opposes the government led by Nouri al-Maliki as well as the forces of United States in Iraq. This terrorist group is grounded in central and northern Iraq and is said to be linked with several Islamic organizations operating in Iraq. However, intelligence agencies of the Iraqi interim government and United States linked this group to al-Qaeda but later it was revealed that there is a wild conflict between these two terrorist groups.

7. Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia:

This Marxist-Leninist terrorist group of Colombia is better known by its acronym – “FARC” and is considered as the kingpin of illegal drug trade across the world. This organization was established in 1964 and currently it constitutes approximately 12 thousand combatants with thousands of supporters from the rural areas. The obtained extortion money from multinational corporations and wealthier classes is invested for the betterment of poor peoples.


6. Kurdistan Worker’s Party:

Best known as PKK, this group was established on November 27, 1978 in Turkey and since then it has been fighting for the sake of an independent Kurdish state. Face of an international terror, PKK’s working region constitutes Turkey, Iran, Syria and Iraq and it is also enlisted by a number of counter-terrorism agencies as a deadly international organization.

5. Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan:

Located in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas along the Afghan border in Pakistan, this terrorist organization comprises several Islamist militant groups. Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (also called the Pakistani Taliban), was established in December, 2007, by Baitullah Mehsud, a notorious Pakistani militant who finally died on August 23, 2009. Pakistani Taliban, however, targets elements of Pakistani state, but according to several intelligence agencies, top cities of the United States are conceived as its main target.

4. Hezbollah:

Backed up by Iran and Syria, this Lebanon based terrorist group has emerged from the Lebanese civil war of 1982 and is considered as the biggest foe of Israel and Sunni Arab countries. According to a report of Central Intelligence Agency, this organization covers the 41 percent of Lebanese population and is involved in multiple social activities.

3. Taliban:

Derived from the word “students”, Taliban is well known for beastly governing the Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001 and its deadly guerrilla war against the NATO including the governments of Pakistan and Afghanistan. This terrorist group was founded by Pashtun tribes with the significant support from some Islamic countries such as Arabs, Chechens, Uzbeks, Punjabis and Tajiks.


2. Hamas:

Acronym for “Harakat Al-Muqawama Al-Islamia”, HAMAS is a socio-political terrorist group of Palestine which was founded in 1987 due to an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood. This organization was established with the aim of Jihad and to release Palestine from Israeli subjugation. Known for its daredevil suicide bombers, this terrorist group is significantly supported by Hezbollah to assassinate Israeli civilians and defense officers.

1. Al-Qaeda:

The biggest “brand name” between all terrorist groups across the world! This extremist Islamic group was established in 1989 by Osama Bin Laden, the great grandfather of all terrorists and a mysterious figure dodging the worldwide intelligence agencies after the September 11 attacks. Notorious for its integrated network and powerful strategies, Al-Qaeda constitutes thousand of individuals who have accomplished proper military training.

    This list is very racist. What about the KKK?


    • @ Adam
      However, the Ku Klux Klan has evolved to target its message of hate but in current time they are obsolete


      • question to author/?

        where is indian and sri lakan terrorist. and also isrial terrorist list.u mentioned only muslims group as terrorist, its not real picture.what about america?


        • earthwit

          According to statistics terrorist organizations established by Indians are nowhere on the list of most notorious ones. Though I accept LTTE in Srilanka was a big-league group, but you must know that after the death of its head Vellupillai Prabhakaran. LTTE was in this list for sometime but we eliminated it after Prabhakaran died.


  6. mohammed

    maybe taliban and al-qaeda are terrorists but Hizbullah and hamas arent and for the rest i dont know them


  7. will you call some people who try to get their rights back? pkk is trying to force turkish gov, to let more than 20 milion kurdish speak in their mothers language…


  8. Engineer saleem

    I think many of the chiristion terrorest organizations are there.but see the byestness that mostly mostly muslims terrorest organization are listed.I am not wonderd.


  9. Syrian patriot

    I’m Syrian and I can tell you that Hamas and hibollah are not terrorist, they are resisters against the israelian occupation of Palestine along with parts of Syria and Lebanon…. So no wonder USA listed it on the terror list and forgot to mention israel that has always been the source of terror in midd east by attacking and killing and prosecuting Arabs in occupied part of Palestine in order to create a country of Jews on the Arabs account and dominate the area between the two rivers from Nile to Euphrates and hizbullah stoped Israel from doing that project on our account….. Zionism won’t work anymore it’s getting weaker and weaker and it will vanish soon enough and leave us live in peace….. Hope to publish this comment


  10. Notaterrorist

    I have not read one review on this that makes any sense. Most muslims are terrorist. They want Jihad! Do any of you even know what that means? Probably not because you don’t even do your homework before you make senseless comments.

  16. Tamizan

    LTTE is not a terrorist org…..they fought for the freedom of Tamil civilians in srilanka…….they had their own politics system, police stations, post offices , military ( so called terrorists here ) and police men too…….civilians were killed , raped and molested by srilankan and Indian army…..its one of the biggest genocidal incident in human history which is not recorded….. they fought for the rights of “their” land …..not for some other’s……the world should know the truth…….


    • Shahul16

      if tamil (hindu) fights against govt, its not terrorism.
      If an iraqi(muslim) fights against bull shit americans who invade their country, its terrorism. hahahah. shame on you


      • Arrunprakash

        terrorism is not depending upon religion.How we handle problem is important so don’t think like that.


        • Shahul16

          You just see the 10 organisation. Why only muslims are targetted?
          How many indians are being killed by maoist? They kill villages, they attack trains, they killed policemen in police stations!!!!!!!!!
          No one opens mouth because they are hindus. If there is some thing related to a muslim, you cannot see any other news. why this is so?


      • Emotionkayaksite

        LTTE is not a terrorist group because they don’t use terror tactics,Not often at least.They usually fight head on and have a proper organized Military,they even have air force.It’s also not a religion driven organization.They are fighting for basic human rights which are not being provided to them at all.
        Organizations like Alqueda and Taliban however are in fact religion driven and use religious propaganda to justify their war efforts.They also operate like a terrorist organization and use gurilla and terror tactics to fight.LTTE would never do a thing like 9/11 or 26/11.
