III. 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.
