Series: Political Violence

The recent conviction of Ramzi Ahmed Yousef for

plotting what prosecutors called '48 hours of terror in the

sky' by conspiring to bomb a dozen US airliners, the increasing number of manportable SAM attacks on aircraft, and the recent crash of a hijacked Ethiopian airliner off the Comoro

Islands causing 127 deaths show that aviation confronts a wide range of security threats. This aim of this volume, published ten years after Lockerbie, is to assess the changing threats to aviation security. It is a sad fact that despite major efforts by certain states to enhance security much more

needs to be done to remedy weaknesses in international aviation security if further Lockerbies are to be prevented. The

contributors examine threats and vulnerabilities in the light of recent developments in aviation security and consider the prospects for strengthening the response at national and

international levels. The study is of obvious relevance not

only to security and academic specialists but also to the international civil aviation community and national policy-makers.
