- Summary:
- The face of terrorism changed over the three decades between the spectacle of Black September in 1970 and the atrocity of Al Qaeda's attack on September 11, 2001. Militant Islam replaced secular Palestinian nationalism as the ideology of terror. Jihad against apostates and infidels replaced the liberation of Palestine as the cause. The face of terrorism has changed, but not its nature. Acts of terror are war crimes. Terrorism is a crime against humanity.
