"Experts in many areas of antiterrorism have analyzed the threats that now have varied faces on a domestic and global level: regional terrorist movements, weapons of mass destruction, new tactics such as suicide bombers, among others. Strategies to counter these threats demand a flexible approach and cooperation at multiple levels. The efforts of all sectors - military intelligence, technology, business, government agencies from local to international - are presented in this comprehensive volume, so that readers become aware of the scope of the problem and how it will be successfully addressed."--BOOK JACKET.
