William Gutteridge

Gutteridge is a former professor of international studies at Aston University and was the director of the now defunct Research Institute for the Study of Conflict and Terrorism.

Despite the lack of predictive power in his utterances (in 1998 he stated that I would have thought the threat in mainland Britain would be drastically reduced )his pronouncements and speculation are regularly used in the press such as this example:

"The attacks on the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were acts of war and the United States could take reprisals against the bombers under international law without approval of the United Nations, terrorism experts said Friday. If the Americans find Iraqi connections, that could lift the lid right off, said William Gutteridge, director of the Research Institute for the Study of Conflict and Terrorism in England. If this were the case, I would not be surprised if there were a direct action against Saddam Hussein. Although a Middle East link has not been established, experts said this was a possibility given the close historical Arab links with East Africa."
