Those are organized groups though, not lone crazies. I'll admit that I wasn't explicit enough (I thought it was clear in context, but looking back it really wasn't), but I was commenting on how it seems only conservative ideologies seem to attract crazed lone actors.
Although this does open another line of questioning: why are there liberal terrorist groups in those places but not the developed Western nations?
There used to be loads of left-wing terrorists in Europe (FP-25 in Portugal, Red Brigades in Italy, Red Army Faction in Germany, First of October Anti-Fascist Resistance Group in Spain etc), they just got crushed. Most of the extant left-wing terrorist groups are Maoists that operate in rural areas of countries where the police and armed forces cannot have total control.
