2. Main strategies for
preventing
Terrorism
The has three components, the timer/trigger,
detonator & booster
 and explosive with shrapnel etc. Timer or trigger can
easily be constructed
 with even an alarm clock and simple batteries or cell
phones and is virtually
impossible to control. But neither explosive material
nor detonators are easily available.
 With tightening border control and some measures to
account for dual use substances like
 ammonium nitrate fertilizer, this risk can be reduced.

3.  All cities must establish a network of mohalla committees
 and housing societies to monitor all suspicious movement in
 their own locality. Each city must have a dedicated police
 officer to man this 24x7. This measure will enhance both
intelligence
 gathering as well as alert police to movement of terrorists. Police
can
 circulate photographs and information of the fugitive suspects to
these
 committees. In short a city wide concept of 'neighbourhood
watch' needs to
 be implemented immediately. This will cost next to nothing.

4.  In many western countries the police or intelligence
 agencies have launched 'sting operations' to lure and
 nab would be terrorists BEFORE they commit an act of sabotage.
 It is time our security establishment did the same.

5.  In all terrorist incidents the police are more
 concerned with the Big Fish. This is a mistake.
 It is necessary to come down hard on the foot soldiers
 or persons who provide support like transport or lodging to the
terrorists.
 These individuals must be punished quickly and made to pay a
price.
 The idea behind this logic is to cut off the terrorists from their
supporters due
 to fear of retribution by the state.
 Like guerrillas without help similarly terrorists without
 local help would be like fish out of water. Infringement of
 laws to support acts of terror either for money or due to ideology
 needs to be viewed seriously by both the police (and
especially) the judiciary.

6.  For the sake of God and country, the various agencies in field
must shun
 turf battles and act in unison. For instance the Indian Army has
been dealing
 with IED's for years and has accumulated enough experience in
the field. It has
 bomb disposal units and equipment. Could not the Pune police
co-ordinate with the
 CME (College of Military Engineering) located in Pune itself?

7.  There is an urgent need to create a well thought out SOP
 or standard operating procedure in case of a terrorist incident.
 Once an incident is declared as a 'terrorist incident' by the
designated
 authority (could be the police commissioner in case of a city) then
all resources civil,
 military or private must come under the pre-designated commander.
All agencies must be
 obliged to obey his orders. It is the lack of unified command and
pooling of resources
 on 26/11 that resulted in the terrorists holding out for over 72 hours!

8.  The judiciary must deal with terrorism related cases quickly
and punish the mass murderers.
 It is time that the judiciary sheds its proclivity to give the
benefit of doubt to the
 criminals while doubting the intention of the law enforcers. If
not corrected in time,
 we may soon come to a situation where the honest
policeman will prefer not to act!
 These seven steps if taken can certainly reduce the
incidents of terrorist strikes
 but not end them. Terrorism in India is unlikely to end early
since it is being given

9. Situational prevention (3):
 Identify vulnerable targets
 Prioritise targets according to needs for protection
 Risk = Probability X Consequence
 Analyse the specific vulnerability of the targets
 Think terrorist!
 Identify possible weapons and methods terrorists may use to hit
targets
 Find ways to limit the terrorists’ access to targets
 Introduce adequate protective measures
 Identify how terrorists may try to bypass protective measures, and
introduce new counter-measures.

14. Main strategies for preventing
terrorism:
 Short-term preventive strategies
 Incapacitation
 Deterrence by threat of retaliation or punishment
 Averting planned terrorist attacks
 Situational prevention
 Long-term preventive strategies
 Social and political prevention by reducing root causes and
motivations for violent radicalisation
 Disengagement from terrorism – making individuals and groups
discontinue their involvement in terrorism
 Main challenge: To make short-term and
long-term strategies support rather than undermine each other
