Synopsis

This book gathers the testimony given to a 1996 Senate Intelligence Committee hearing regarding terrorist threats to American interests in the Middle East. Following the bombing of the American barracks in Beirut in 1983 and the Dhahran Air Base bombing in 1996, government officials were called to discuss intelligence and counterterrorism strategies and failures. Experts discuss the relationship between the US and Saudi Arabia, the root causes of terrorism, and the importance of intelligence sharing and analysis. This book places the events analyzed in the historical context of terrorism both domestically and internationally and highlights the ongoing evolution of America's response to this threat. The compilation of witness testimony provides a unique perspective on the complex issues surrounding terrorism and offers readers insight into the measures that can be taken to address this ongoing national security concern.
