(ii)Examples: The demolition of the World Trade Centre (New York, USA) by Islamic militants on 9September 2001 was a striking manifestation of this sinister reality.
(iii)The use of biological/chemical/nuclear weapons of mass destruction by these forces remains a frightening possibility.
(iv)The global community has failed to curb the rapacity of the domineering powers and the guerrilla tactics of the terrorists.
