Overview

Disbanded:

Communist Attack Divisions (RCA) was a small, left-wing group of about two dozen members active in Milan in Northern Italy. It split from the Communist Combat Formations (FCC), a larger left-wing group, in 1978. Its chief concern was the prisons, though it also at one point attacked a radio station. The group ceased to exist after most of its members were arrested beginning in 1980.
