WASHINGTON, D.C. -- A Chilean terrorist group that had often attacked LDS targets in Chile has been removed from the U.S. State Department's list of "foreign terrorist organizations," the State Department announced on Friday. The Manuel Rodriguez Patriotic Front Dissidents, which was also known for attacking U.S. businesses active in Chile, was removed because it had not engaged in any "terrorist" acts for the past two years.

The change was one of a number of changes announced on Friday in the first review of the list in two years. The list was mandated under a 1996 law and now contains 28 organizations, including four remaining Latin American groups.
