The breaking of a terrorist siege in the heart of London in 1980 catapulted the normally secretive SAS onto the world stage. The audacious daylight assault, carried out in the full glare of media scrutiny, made the Regiment and it's motto, 'Who Dares Wins' an indelible part of UK culture. The techniques used in the operation were quickly studied and copied by other special forces and counter-terrorism units around the world.

Britain had drawn a line in the sand with regards to international terrorism. Terrorists now knew that if they undertook an operation against British interests that the UK would respond with deadly efficiency.
