A new race of killers

They sang, they danced, they praised their god and they slaughtered everyone on sight. When the
killing “party” was over in Luxor, Egypt, last week, 58 foreign tourists lay dead. Most of the victims
were Japanese, Swiss, German or British. Four Americans survived by hiding among Luxor’s
antiquities.
The attackers were Islamic zealots. “Their eyes looked as if they had taken drugs”, recalled
Rosemary Dousse, a 66-year-old Swiss tourist who was wounded in the stomach and leg. “They told
us to kneel, and then they started shooting”.
Eventually the six gunmen were chased into the desert and killed. They called themselves the
Battalion of Havoc, meaning Battalion of Destruction. The Luxor killers belong to a new race of
terrorists: religious fanatics who regard the unnecessary murder of innocent victims as a legitimate
form of holy war.
Rigidly dogmatic, they seek no one’s agreement; they are accountable to God. Anyone who does
not fully share the precise beliefs of these groups may be seen by them as hostile. Afghanistan has
become a hideout for all sorts of radical Muslim gangs.
Preventing attacks by the new breed of killers is urgent but not easy. Information sharing among
Western allies helps. So do increased security measures at public places and government warnings
to Westerners planning to travel to dangerous areas. But one of the most disturbing characteristics of
the 90’s terrorists is their tendency to hit “soft” targets. Swiss tourists are killed in Luxor, for
example, to punish the United States.
Given the right weapons, the unholy combination of religious fervor and random killing could
take terrorism to a frightening new plateau.
Terrorists armed with knives, guns and bombs are bad enough. Equipped with poison gas or germ
weapons, they could pose a threat most of us would rather not think about.

By Christopher Dickey, Adapted from Newsweek,
December 1, 1997, p. 12.
