Abstract
Few terrorist missions are suicidal. Most terrorist missions are against so-called soft targets and embody fairly elaborate escape plans. The threat of political terrorist generally emanates less from his desire for suicide than from his preparation, both mentally and physically, to take hostages and wait of the dialogue of negotiations.
