In Testimony to Congress a week ago, Robert Mueller, the FBI head, listed anarchist groups, specifically the Anarchist Black Cross Federation, with ELF and animal rights groups, to be among groups presenting a threat on the level of the al Qaeda network

"The potential for violence by anarchists and other emerging revolutionary groups, such as the Anarchist Black Cross Federation (ABCF), will continue to be an issue for law enforcement. The stated goals of the ABCF are "the abolishment of prisons, the system of laws, and the Capitalist state." The ABCF believes in armed resistance to achieve a stateless and classless society. ABCF has continued to organize, recruit, and train anarchists in the tactical use of firearms."
