剧情介绍
From the devastation of 9/11 to the horror of the
London bombings, acts of terrorism have left their mark
across the world.
The series looks at the groups behind the attacks: their
potted histories, their leaders and how some groups
even mutated into legitimate political parties.
How did terror groups active in Israel after World War
II eventually transform into modern day Mossad? What
factors finally brought an end to the urban warfare,
typified by indiscriminate car-bombings and tit-for-tat
sectarian shootings, in Northern Ireland? Why was
Osama Bin Laden able to cause so much damage to
the Twin Towers? Why is it that one terrorist group fails,
while another prospers and develops?
With the use of rare archive footage, expert testimony
and 3D graphics, this incisive series seeks to answer
those questions, and many more.
