It is probably only a matter of time before Al-Qaeda attempts to assassinate a Western leadership figure in response to the 'war on terror'. The obvious key choices would be US President George W Bush, then Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, and then key members of Bush's inner group of advisers. Possible softer targets include Western leaders closely associated with US foreign policy, such as UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and Australian Prime Minister John Howard. This article explore some of the motivations and means for such assassinations.
