Terrorism and its manifestations continue to evolve, becoming
deadlier and more menacing. This study considers the evolution of
terrorism since 1968 and how airlines and governments have
attempted to deal with this form of violence through a series of
nonforce strategies. Using historical examples, we see how
governments, particularly the United States, attempted to counter
politically motivated aerial hijacking with metal detectors, legal
means, and, finally, in frustration, counterviolence operations to
subdue terrorists. As nations witnessed aerial hijacking and
sieges, the requirement for paramilitary and military
counterterrorist forces became a necessity. Through use of examples
from Israel (Entebbe 1976), West Germany (Mogadishu 1977), and
Egypt (Malta 1985), Taillon concludes that cooperation--ranging
from shared intelligence to forward base access and observers--can
provide significant advantages in dealing with low-intensity
operations. He hopes to highlight those key aspects of cooperation
at an international level which have, at least in part, been vital
to successful counterterrorist operations in the past and, as we
witnessed again in the campaign in Afghanistan, are destined to
remain so in the future.
