Excerpt
Executive Summary: The year 1995 was one of many terrorist attacks, but for civil aviation it should be recorded as a year of disasters averted. Catastrophic events in the United States, France, Japan, Saudi Arabia, and other countries caused great concern to authorities responsible for protecting the public against all forms of aggression.
