The definition of a terror organisation is according the the US Government - and applies to any activity within the previous 5 years. There are 2 very obvious countries not on this list as only one organisation is based there (according to this report anyway). While finishing this off I found the 2009 version of my source so i'll update this soon - after pretty much completing it i felt i may as well publish it. Having skimmed over it it shouldnt change too drastically.

You should add "(Maoist)" to the end of Communist Party of India: the "Communist Party of India" and "Communist Party of India (Marxist)" are separate and are not considered terrorist groups by the US. Also, maybe you should make clear in the title that these are only according to the US government, as other countries have very different lists.

"armed islamic group" is sort of ambiguous. and the salafist group for call and combat has nothing to do with canada; they're algerian.

Your source doesn't agree with your quiz answers. For instance, any terrorist group active in the Republic of Ireland is also active in Northern Ireland, and not vice versa. Yet Ireland has 8 and the UK has 7?

Just so you know, this list is more than just the officially recognized terrorist organizations, as per the USG... it also includes other organizations that have committed terrorism, but haven't been "recognized." Think China as a country versus Taiwan as a "country" and you're on the right track.

According to the US State Department, Sudan is also a state sponsor of terrorism.

Kind of disappointing the source doesn't look inward to the U.S. itself. I can think of two just off the top of my head: the KKK and the Lambs of Christ.

I understand that this list was produced in 2004, but surely al-Shabaab wasn't the only terrorist group in Somalia at the time. A great quiz, but I wish that there were a more updated version to address some of the inconsistencies. 4/5

Yeah, I find it hard to believe that the US doesn't have two terrorist organizations. I have a feeling that the definition used is biased.
