The great wave of international terrorist that first reached a climax in 1972 showed 
no signs of abating in 1975. Strictly speaking, the phenomenon was not new; what 
was new was its rapid growth in the 1970s, made possible by increasingly 
sophisticated technology. Some of this new technology consists of specialised 
equipment, such as miniaturised or remote-control detonating devices, hand-held 
rocket launchers, and the like, which make terrorism more lethal, more effective, and 
less risky for the terrorist. But even improvements in generally available technology 
are important. For example, self-dialling international telephone communications 
and jet travel facilitate conspiracies across national boundaries and the perpetration 
of political crimes by nationals of country in another. The growth of television has 
contributed to the easy dissemination of terrorist techniques, such as hijacking of 
aircraft and the kidnapping of diplomats or businessmen for ransom.
