Before being outed as the leader of the M.L.F. in 2014 by the Z.I.S., Kamoni was believed to have been a mafia boss working in Vulkaria's and the greater IDU's criminal underground. However, it is believed that in 1985 at the age of 16 he joined the M.L.F. to fight alongside insurgents and against Zamastanian and Vulkarian forces in the [[First War in Vulkaria]]. By the end of the war in 1991, he had established himself as a commander within the group and captured the attention of the group's leader, [[Samuel Kannit]]. Kannit eventually made Kamoni the second-in-command of the M.L.F. (most likely in 1992), which saw Kamoni's first foreign terror attack. 

On December 29, 1992, an attack was carried out in [[Providence]], Zamastan known as the [[1992 Giron Hotel Bombings]]. That evening, a bomb went off at the Giron hotel, where Zamastanian troops had been staying while en route to the [[Gladysynthia]]n border, though the troops had already left when the bomb exploded. The bombers targeted a second hotel, the Nira, where they believed troops might also be staying. That bomb detonated prematurely in the hotel car park, around the same time as the other bomb explosion, killing an [[Laeral]]ian tourist and a two Zamastanian citizens. Samuel Kannit claimed responsibility for the attack in 1998, but intelligence believes that Kamoni directly planned and ordered the attack.

===International terror attacks and plots===
Kamoni is believed to have planned and ordered at least 72 terror attacks since his ascension to second-in-command within the Malvarian Liberation Front. Some of the most notable attacks are listed below:

====1995-2016====
*On November 13, 1995, a car bomb exploded at a facility in [[Bayview]], [[Legionas]] where the Zamastanian military was training alongside Legionas troops. Five Zamastanians and two Legionites were killed and 60 people were wounded. The attack has been credited to M.L.F. by the governments of Zamastan and Legionas, although Samuel Kannit never took credit for the bombing.

*In late 1999 and 2000, M.L.F. planned attacks to coincide with the millennium by attacking several significant sites across the IDU, specifically in nations friendly to Vulkaria or a part of the Coalition forces. A terrorist attempted to detonate a suicide vest at a [[Minjian Faith|Minjian temple]] in [[Laeral]] on December 4th, 1999, but was stopped by security and arrested. On December 15th, a terrorist opened fire on a cafe in [[Emerald]], [[Pahl]], [[Zamastan]], killing two people and injuring 5. 

*As the [[Second War in Vulkaria]] intensified, the M.L.F. sent several operatives to nations involved in the Coalition. On April 3rd, 2001, 2 suicide bombers attacked the city of [[Königsberg]] in [[Legionas]], killing 20 and injuring around 100 people. On April 4th, a bomb detonated in [[Cardiff]], [[Cadair]], killing 3 people and injuring over 30. 

*The 2002 ZNGS Fig bombing occurred on 6 October 2002. The Fig was carrying 397,000 barrels (63,100 m3) of crude oil from Vulkaria to Zamastan, and was in the Elkjob Bay off [[Zerphique]] to pick up another load of oil. It was registered under a Zerphique-flag and had been chartered by a Zamastanian petrol firm. While it was some distance offshore, an explosives-laden dinghy rammed the starboard side of the tanker and detonated. The vessel caught on fire and approximately 90,000 barrels (14,000 m3) of oil leaked into the ocean. Although Zamastanian officials initially claimed that the explosion was caused by an accident, later investigations found traces of TNT on the damaged ship. One crew member, a 38-year-old Zerphique citizen, was killed, and 12 other crew members were injured.

*On December 13, 2014, a suicide-bomber attacked a shopping center in [[Seahaven]] on [[Butterfly Island]], [[Lauchenoiria]], killing five people and injuring 11.

====2017 Tofino Terror Attacks====
On 18th October 2017, [[Tofino October 2017 Attacks|M.L.F. terrorists launched their deadliest ever foreign attack, targeting several sites]] in [[Tofino]], [[Zamastan]] and the city's northern suburb, [[Tirzah]]. Beginning at 21:16, five suicide bombers struck the Tofino metro subway line. This was followed by several mass shootings and a suicide bombing, at cafés and restaurants.

The attackers killed 438 people, including 298 in the subway systems. Another 690+ people were injured, almost 400 seriously. Seven of the attackers also died while the authorities continued to search for accomplices. The attacks were the deadliest in Zamastan since the [[Alanis Pride Parade Bombing]]. Zamastan had not been on high alert since the end of the [[Second War in Vulkaria]], during which 2 lone-wolf attacks took place at an office complex and a supermarket in [[Tofino]] and [[Jade Harbor]] that killed 8 people and wounded 22, including civilians and police officers.

The Malvarian Liberation Front claimed responsibility for the attacks, saying that it was retaliation for the support of the [[Vulkaria]]n government in continued fights against their insurgency. The [[President of Zamastan]], [[Zacharias Castovia]], said the attacks were an act of war by M.L.F.. The attacks were planned in Vulkaria and organised by a terrorist cell based in [[Gladysynthia]], aided by the insurgent group [[Gladys Popular Freedom Fighters]]. Most of the Tofino attackers had Zamastanian, Vulkarian or Gladysynthian citizenship, two were [[Cadair]]ian, and some had fought in Vulkaria. Some of them had entered Zamastan among the flow of migrants and refugees.

In response to the attacks, a three-month state of emergency was declared across the country to help fight terrorism, which involved the banning of public demonstrations, and allowing the police to carry out searches without a warrant, put anyone under house arrest without trial and block websites that encouraged acts of terrorism. On 21 October, Zamastan launched the biggest airstrike of [[Operation Vulkar Rain]], its contribution to the anti-M.L.F. bombing campaign, striking M.L.F. targets in Vulkaria. On 22 October, the suspected lead operative of the attacks, Ezra Po'Mannuk, was killed in a police raid in [[Arinals]], along with two others.

*On August 16, 2019, two people were killed and over 40 injured after a pressure cooker bomb went off at a cafe in the Kingston neighborhood of [[Tofino]], Zamastan[https://theidu.us/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1903&start=50#p19747].

*On August 28, 2019, 11 people died and 42 were injured after an attack by M.L.F. aligned Solas terrorists in Cardiff, Cadair. The terrorists stabbed multiple civilians who were attending the unveiling of a government office building.

====2019 Amstelveen Bombing====
On December 26th, a suicide bomber killed 48 people and injured hundreds at a political rally for President [[Farhen Brooks]] in downtown [[Amstelveen]], [[Vulkaria]]. Two days later, eight Zamastanian and three Legionite soldiers were killed in an ambush in NW Vulkaria.

===Role in the [[1/2/20 Terror Attacks]]===
Kamoni released a video statement following the devastating attacks of January 2nd, 2020, which killed more than 1,500 people across the IDU. In the video, he claimed responsibility for the attacks and also claimed there would be more to come. Z.I.S., Legionas, and Laeralian intelligence say that Kamoni either had contributed partially or completely in the planning of the attacks, and had hand-selected at least 50 of the terrorists who traveled abroad to commit the acts. In the video, he stated that the attacks were meant to “bring justice and death to the corrupt nations that uphold the Vulkarian government and their falsified deities of poverty and partitions”. Since the attacks, he has been the principle figurehead target of the Coalition's [[2020 War in Vulkaria|military operations]] in Vulkaria as the most wanted enemy individual.
