In some cases those who killed in God's name were said to be carrying
on the tradition of the Biblical Phineas Priesthood. Others were
said to be an Army of God. In both cases a number of differenet groups
and individuals have used these names, and while some are connected, there
is insufficient evidence to claim that all are part of one connected group.
