INFILTRATION - PREVENTION OF TERRORISM:


If we look at the steps taken in prevention of terrorism by governments all over the world, the one most useful step is the infiltration into terrorist groups. T/his will provide advance information of their vicious plans, so that they can be prevented. After 9/11 no major terrorist act took place in USA. This is all because of advance information of terrorists plans through infiltration. 

While these are the facts, it is difficult to understand why no body, not even the Indian Home Minister talks about this issue of infiltration. Center feels it's job is over by letting the states know the non-specific intelligence information. It seems that there is no coordination between center and states. May be they should consider a central agency like Department of Homeland Security like in USA. It looks like that our governments are satisfied by declaration of ex-gracias to victims rather than taking coordinated proven steps to prevent terrorist incidents.

Government has a responsibility to let people know why they failed in intelligence gathering, dissemination of information and acting to prevent acts of terrorism. Particularly they need to explain why they have not infiltrated into terrorist organizations to know their plans ahead of time so that their attempts are foiled and culprits are brought to justice. Why do we refuse to learn from world wide experience on the topic. Are we really serious in protecting our citizens.

In USA a CC camera is installed at every traffic intersection so that they can look back and catch the culprits with video proof. Why not we do the same and mandate businesses to install CC cameras. We need to think globally and act locally with determination. Infiltration - Infiltration and Infiltration is the first step in prevention. 

Mr. Shinde! Wake up to this reality and be specific on what actions you are going to take rather than repeating the same empty words of Chidambaram after the Bombay blasts. Your incompetence is costing citizens lives. Wake Up India.
