But the third generation [of terrorists] has learned its hatred from television and its tactics from the Web, according to the experts. Its only connections to al-Qaida are Web sites and a shared anti-West philosophy. Its practitioners go online to find inspiration as well as practical advice, such as how to build a bomb.
The result has been a number of duds. "The new generation is not professional. They build bombs that don't explode," said Rolf Tophoven, one of Germany's most respected terrorism experts and the co-director of the Institute for Terrorism Research and Security Policy in Essen.
Still, he noted, studies of bombings in the Palestinian territories indicate that a "completely professional suicide bomber" - able to construct a bomb and conduct an attack - "can be created in three weeks."
