Federal prosecutors alleged tha Dennis McGiffen organized a terrorist cell of five men in southern Illinois that called itself "The New Order." A 35-year-old pipefitter, McGiffen was known as the leader of a Ku Klux Klan faction in the early 1990s but does not appear to have engaged in criminal activity. He said he not only adopted the Aryan Nations' anti-black, anti-Jewish, anti-government ideology, but also learned his tactics from the group. federal investigators say his dream was to provoke a race war, and he allegedly had a precise plot: robbing banks in order to finance the operation, bombing the offices of Jewish organizations and assassinating civil rights figures. McGiffen held meetings with top Aryan Nations officials while he was enlisting recruits and allegedly collecting an arsenal that included automatic weapons, according to federal investigators.

Groups and individuals included in TRAC's database range from actual perpetrators of social or political violence to more passive groups that support or condone (perhaps unwittingly) such violence. The spectrum of violence represented by these groups is vast, from Jihadists who bomb train stations to financial institutions that transfer funds. Some groups that originally engaged in violence but have since become legitimate political parties are included to provide historical perspective. TRAC is in no way attempting to determine whether groups or individuals are terrorists -- only to convey reported information about their activities and official State status. While TRAC attempts to ensure the accuracy of its TRAC database, the entries in the database are from numerous different sources. Hence, TRAC cannot and does not warrant the accuracy of the entries in its database. The editors of TRAC may modify these entries at any time and welcome comments and suggested corrections or additions.
