Fighting terror

There are two modules of terrorism. One that preaches terrorism and another that executes it. Those who preach terrorism are more dangerous than those who act on their hate philosophy. The state should identify them first if terrorism is to be curbed.

Hoax calls and mails threatening to set off bomb blasts destabilise the functioning of society. It is impossible to ignore them because of the climate of insecurity that exists. Such calls waste the time of the police. They hinder production and cause frustration.
