<br/><br/> Analyses the significant potential threats to the West posed by the Middle East. Problems examined include narcotics and organised crime; immigration; terrorism; and arms proliferation, particularly with reference to weapons of mass destruction. The author asserts that if the threats of Middle Eastern terrorism and proliferation were to be combined into super-terrorism, the result would create a new form of asymmetric warfare for which the West is ill-prepared.
