New series. Peter Taylor examines four landmark terrorist acts of the past three decades, and their effect on history, politics and psychology. In the first programme, the story of the 1976 hijacking of a plane by Palestinians allied with German Marxist revolutionaries, which ended with a daring Israeli raid on Entebbe airport in Idi Amin’s Uganda. With contributions from all sides of the crisis

2/4. Ten Days of Terror
In his ambitious chronicle of the Age of Terror, award-winning journalist Peter Taylor explores the dramatic events of ten days in 1987. A boat called The Eksund carrying a massive cargo of Libyan arms bound for Ireland was intercepted in French waters. Under questioning, the skipper revealed vital information about the IRA’s secret arsenal which rocked the British government. In the same week, the IRA was preparing to bomb a Remembrance Day service in the border town of Enniskillen. This attack was to shake the IRA to its core. These two extraordinary events led to a transformation of the political landscape in Northern Ireland.

3/4. The Paris Plot
Peter Taylor moves forward to Christmas Eve 1994. An Air France plane is hijacked in Algiers by a group of Islamist extremists. But this was no ordinary hijack; a chilling precursor to 9/11, the plan was to divert the plane and use it as a weapon of mass destruction in the heart of Paris. Featuring dramatic archive, searching interviews with hostages, official negotiators and some of the French commandos who stormed the plane, the programme tells the story of the extraordinary rescue mission that brought the crisis to an end. The Paris Plot marks the emergence of an Islamist jihad, a Holy War which has since spread in all directions across the world.
