Terrorists will 'outsource'

Terrorists will act like modern day multi-national firms outsourcing mass atrocity attacks, a military expert warned yesterday.

Senior American military strategist Philip Bobbit said that among the new threats is a rise in the risk of terrorists using biological weapons of mass destruction.

Speaking at the Hay Festival in Wales, he also warned that some in the military are failing to appreciate the nature of the new threat.

He said the emergence of "market states", as opposed to nation states, is giving rise to terrorists who act in the same way.
