Revolutionary Organization

It is remarkable how the new generation of Greece's "urban guerrillas" have adopted their predecessors' ambition to play a role in politics, to affect the "system's" course by becoming part of it.

Most countries, especially in the West, had no awareness of a terrorism threat on their territory until al-Qaeda's shocking acts on Sept. 11, 2001. In a sense, 9/11 was the opening act of a wave of global guerilla warfare.

The National Theater of Greece’s performance of an experimental play, titled “Nash Equilibrium”, based on a work by convicted Revolutionary Organization November 17 terrorist Savvas Xiros sparked outrage of victims of the terrorist group. Even the United States embassy had expressed its outrage before the cancellation of the work was announced.

The United States removed November 17 from the list of foreign terrorist groups, according to a statement of the US Treasury.

US State Secretary John Kerry revoked the characterization of the organization November 17 as terrorist, according to the official newspaper of the federal government (Federal Register).
