520    In this revised edition, the author analyzes the new 
       adversaries, motivations, and tactics of global terrorism 
       that have emerged in recent years, focusing specifically 
       on how Al Qaeda has changed since 9/11; the reasons behind
       its resiliency, resonance, and longevity; and its 
       successful use of the Internet and videotapes to build 
       public support and gain new recruits. He broadens the 
       discussion by evaluating the potential repercussions of 
       the Iraqi insurgency, the use of suicide bombers, 
       terrorist exploitation of new communications media, and 
       the likelihood of a chemical, biological, radiological, or
       nuclear terrorist strike. Looking at the U.S., he 
       reconsiders the Timothy McVeigh case and the threats posed
       by American Christian white supremacists and abortion 
       opponents as well as those posed by militant 
       environmentalists and animal rights activists. He argues 
       that the attacks on the World Trade Center fundamentally 
       transformed the West's view of the terrorist threat.
