== Re-organization in the 1930s == After the trial of 1930, the organization quickly re-organized itself under the leadership of [[Albert Rejec]] and [[Danilo Zelen]]. It expanded its membership and shifted its tactics. Instead of demonstrative attacks on symbolic figures and institutions of Fascist repression, they opted for targeted attacks on infrastructure and high-ranking military, militia and police personnel. They also built a wide intelligence network, and established contacts with British and Yugoslav intelligence services. Ideological propaganda was intensified. While in the late 1920s, the organization had close connection with radical Yugoslav nationalist movements, such as [[ORJUNA]], after the reorganization in the 1930s it adopted a more [[left wing]] ideology. Several connections with Italian anti-Fascist organizations were established (including with the organisation [[Giustizia e Libertà]]). In 1935, TIGR signed an agreement of co-operation with the [[Communist Party of Italy]]. The TIGR nevertheless tried to remain above all ideological divisions, maintaining a close relationship with the local Slovene and Croat [[Roman Catholic]] lower clergy and grassroots organizations in Istria and the [[Slovenian Littoral]]. Among the actions planned by the organization, the most daring and far-reaching was probably the attempt on [[Benito Mussolini]]'s life in 1938. The plan was supposed to be carried out in 1938, when the dictator visited [[Kobarid]] (then officially known as Caporetto). The plan was put off at the last minute, most probably because of the pressure by the British intelligence, which opposed such an action in times when Mussolini was conducting an active role in the negotiations that led to the [[Munich agreement]]. After the ''[[Anschluss]]'' of Austria in 1938, the TIGR expanded its activity to neighboring [[Nazi Germany]], focusing primarily on bomb actions against crucial infrastructure: railways, and high-voltage power lines. The actions led to a thorough investigation by the Fascist regime, which disclosed most of the TIGR cells in 1940/1941.
