Terrorist Organisations of the World

Terrorism has been with us for centuries, and it has always attracted inordinate attention because of its dramatic character and its sudden, often wholly unexpected, occurrence. It has been a tragedy for the victims, but seen in historical perspective it seldom has been more than a nuisance. We do not suggest that most terrorist groups will use weapons of mass destruction in the near future; most of them probably will not. It is also quite nossible that access to and the use of these weapons will not take a year or two but ten or fifteen. The technical difficulties standing in the way of effective use of the arms of mass destruction are still considerable. But the danger is so great, the consequences so incalculable, that even the occurrence of a few such attacks may have devastating consequences. The book is covering all the terrorist organizations of the world in chronological order to make it comprehensive and complete in all manners.
