Thats where the delivery boys come from. In the short term screwing the sponsoring organisation is ok. But if u dont get rid of the economic compulsion of marginalised people to participate in terror groups, new terror groups will replace the ones dismantled. We cant to do much about our neighbours economies but we can focus on the foibles of our policy makers In short terrorism cant be neutralised with guns, training , banning etc. You require all of these actions together. For the new comers: Terrorism was rampant in the late 60s and early seventies in the form of Naxalites. Some called them revolutionaries others terrorists. -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
