Terrorism: Living with fear

The 11 September 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon showed that even the United States, the world's mightiest military power, is vulnerable to terrorism, especially when it is carefully planned, and when it is executed by people who are happy to die for their cause. Retaliatory bombing may defeat Osama bin Laden, but there are plenty of other terrorist groups around the world. We look at the threats they pose, the weapons at their disposal, and the possible responses of governments.
