but the work of intelligence agencies is to provide the right intel to avoid any such incidence.
How much justified is to use the word safe when terrorists are striking everywhere with a high frequency at their own will? Does the reason that they have not yet launched an attack on any nuclear facility yet puts them into the category of being safe when all other places are being targetted.
No.1: This is not your usual enemy, infiltrating the Taliban is not like snooping on your neighbourhood dacoit. If it were that easy the world's largest and most powerful intelligence agency would have captured the man behind this whole facade already.
[need a hint who he is?]
No2: Coming to protection, Sun Tzu put it well: If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles.
Pakistan has made great strides in Anti Terrorism and are developing well structured and formulated Counter Terrorism policies. At a LE/Mil level the anti-terrorism drive is going better then ever.
10 years prior to all this no facility in Pakistan understood the concept of Blast Mitigation, in-fact the only place you were likely to find Texas and jersey barriers were either outside the US embassy or on Motorway's, hardly anyone outside the EOD trade would have understood the term stand-off distance and its applications in CPTED.
Their use now is almost widespread, 10 years ago no protocol's existed for dealing with suicide bombers and the like, now there are clear guidelines.
10 years ago we had no Post Blast Investigations or Forensic services, now we have a dedicated forensic and terrorism incident team headed by the FIA.
10 years ago vigilance was a word often muttered by serving staffers or heads of corporate security, now a days every tom dick and harry understands the importance of daily vigilance.
We know our enemy better then some people understand, every attack they perpetrate helps us understand analyses and scrutinise their tactics, techniques and procedures.
Many people claim that the Pakistani administration under estimates the Taliban, nay i say it is the Taliban and these arm-chair analysts that under estimate the resolve of the Pakistani nation.
This is a long war, and in the end we have the faith and belief that we will win. By the grace of god we will win. Inshallah!
