The making of the terror myth





"Since September 11 Britain has been warned of the 'inevitability' of catastrophic terrorist attack. But has the danger been exaggerated? A major new TV documentary claims that the perceived threat is a politically driven fantasy - and al-Qaida a dark illusion."

Contrary to the above article, a radiological "dirty bomb" could be quite deadly, if competently made. Then again, making one in secret might prove exceptionally difficult, and the "evil-doer" mastermind could run the risk of radiation poisoning before he had a chance to detonate it.
