We need to go after these terrorists across the border into Afghanistan and hunt them down. Apply the same anti-terror strategy as Turkey did chasing terrorists in Iraq. There is not a single shred of doubt that Afghan soil is being used extensively to plot and carry out suicide missions in Pakistan. Terror consulates are operating day and night. This cannot be tolerated for too long or otherwise the situation will only escalate. Additionally, Pakistan should go ahead and initially mine and fence the most vulnerable parts with the border region. At least cover the hotspots and pro-actively do something about the deteriorating situation instead of nagging and complaining all the time. Time has come to turn the fence into a reality. The sooner Pakistan acknowledges that the border area is actually the main source as well as the epicentre of terror and instability the better. The protection of the border region has become a dire necessity which cannot be ignored any longer. Whatever resources are available should be put to good use. Otherwise, terror will keep on finding its way to the cities and nooks of Pakistan.
