ABSTRACT
A number of contemporary groups using political violence prefer to avoid inflicting human casualties
for fear of alienating public sympathy. These include FLNC, RZ, and the Autonomous Groups (see
Chapter 15) and some of the more militant environmental and animal rights groups. They set their
bombs and incendiary devices to go off during the night and sometimes warn the authorities or firms
that, unless they concede to their demands, the next bombs will be set off in hours of peak activity,
with maximum casualties, though this threat is seldom carried out.
