According to Dr. Maleeha Lodhi, in her book “The Threat of All Threats”
“There is no single silver bullet that can address global terrorism in all its complexity”.
Numerous measures must be taken to effectively combat terrorism, including addressing poverty, promoting social justice, improving literacy rates, and eliminating sectarianism, among others. It’s crucial not to stereotype Muslims as terrorists or assume that all terrorists are Muslim. Violence can be perpetrated by individuals of any race or religion to advance their agenda.
Counter Terrorism Force
Pakistan needs specialized forces like the Quick Response Force to swiftly counter urban terrorism. The Counter Terrorism Force (CTF) should receive comprehensive training and access to various weapons, including bomb disposal equipment, to effectively combat terrorism. Additionally, the police force should be equipped with intelligence capabilities, as exemplified by Naseerullah Baber’s intervention in resolving a bus hostage situation in Karachi. Individual coordination of intelligence, led by agencies like the Intelligence Bureau (IB), is also crucial.
