In January 2003, the British media splashed the news that anti-terror police had disrupted an Al-Qaeda cell, poised to unleash the deadly poison ricin on the capital.

Nucléaire, bactériologique, chimique… La nature du terrorisme a-t-elle évolué de façon tellement significative que les groupes ou individus qui s'y réfèrent cherchent désormais à utiliser les moyens de terreur à grande échelle auparavant réservés à la violence des Etats ? Le terrorisme et son rapport aux armes de destruction massive sont-ils différents depuis la fin de la Guerre froide ? Le terrorisme traditionnel suppose une certaine rationalité dans les buts et les moyens de son action, il correspond à une certaine forme de « relation » entre l'agresseur et l'agressé. A quel changement du monde le nouveau terrorisme « non conventionnel » qui s'exprime de nos jours est-il lié ? A la dispersion des techniques et des matériaux les plus meurtriers ?

Une analyse concrète des formes de terrorisme actuelles.
