The United States on Thursday added a Greek anarchist group to its terror blacklist, saying the group had attempted to spread its “violent anarchist ideology” through a campaign of firebomb attacks.
The State Department said Thursday it had placed the Conspiracy of Fire Nuclei, or SPF, on its list of specially designated terrorists, a move that freezes any assets the group may have in US jurisdictions and bars Americans from giving it any material support.
It said the group, which first emerged in 2008, had targeted civilians and government officials in a number of countries, including Greece, in an attempt to spread its ideology.
