- 200p.
Identifies the opportunities for nuclear terrorism, the psychology of the terrorist, describes religious and ideological terorism, and finally attempts to identify how likely a nuclear attack by terrorists actually is. The activities and more importantly the capabilities of groups such as Aum Shinrikiyo (which was largely unknown to American intelligence) have highlighted the fact that such a possibility must now be taken seriously.
