ABSTRACT
The above two statements encapsulate two of the key security concerns facing the Western world at the beginning of the twenty-first century. In this volume we have endeavored to explore the extent to which they intersect by using different various approaches to analyzing the putative nexus between jihadist terrorists and weapons of mass destruction. In so doing, we have learned much about both the jihadists themselves and the frightening weapons it is feared that they will use. We now attempt to provide a brief summary of the book’s findings within the framework of the four questions posed in the introduction.
