Streszczenie
There are a number of factors affecting the possibility of recovering fibres and other trace evidence in terrorist incidences. These include the types of garments generally worn by the suspects, e.g. the garments neither shed nor retain fibres, and also the destruction of the items and clothing that have been used in the incident. Despite this the fibre evidence has in many cases connected the suspects to the incidents and has been the pivotal evidence in court.
