Only 9/11 left to cover from my original list, then I'll move on to the stuff from this thread. Just found this:

How about the far left group Red Army Faction in Germany?

I guess that they'd technically fit, because they disbanded pretty late, but they're mostly remembered from the 70's, that's why I didn't mention them.
With 70's, you'd get a lot of various sh*t, just like Perun said, the Munich Olympic massacre, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbionese_Liberation_Army, the Tupolev bombing at Baikal, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JAT_Flight_367, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysian_Airline_System_Flight_653, etc...
Or, in 1978, four Islamists burnt people alive in a cinema in Iran. The exact number of deaths is unknown (est. 400 - over 800).

Has the IRA been mentioned? They were still pretty active in the 90s.

Also, doesn't fit the criteria, but it's an attack connected with one of my favourite movies (no fatalities, thankfully)

This is perfect, pigs defeat Muslim radicals.
Three Islamic State militants setting up an ambush in a bitterly contested area of northern Iraq were killed by a herd of stampeding boars, local leaders say.
Sheikh Anwar al-Assi, a chief of the local Ubaid tribe and supervisor of anti-ISIS forces, told The Times of London the militants were hiding on the edge of a field about 50 miles southwest of Kirkuk when the boars overwhelmed them Sunday. Five other militants were injured, al-Assi said. He said the group was poised to attack a band of local tribesmen who had fled to nearby mountains since militants seized the town of Hawija three years ago.
“It is likely their movement disturbed a herd of wild pigs, which inhabit the area as well as the nearby cornfields,” he said.
Al-Assi said the militants had summarily executed 25 people attempting to flee the militant's would-be caliphate in the three days before the boars attacked. Hawija, about 100 miles south of Mosul, sees dozens of residents flee to Kurdish Kirkuk daily, and the Iraqi military has planned to launch an offensive in the region after a laborious effort to liberate Mosul is completed.
