Synopsis

Journalist Peter Taylor explores the impact and legacy of four major acts of terror from the last 30 years. 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 footage and interviews with hostages and official negotiators.
