Fresh terror threat looming large?

By O.J.George

What a terrible situation we are living in when terrorists, disregarding their own lives, are hell-bent on destroying others’ lives? Attacking terrorists are made to believe that they would land up straight in heaven, pointblank.

The latest intelligence input is that Lashkar operatives are planning to strike at airports or hijack planes.

Or the attack could be using para-gliders. The para-gliders can go straight at flying planes or at airports in a suicide attempt.

Report speak about the Lashkar having secured 50 para-gliders from Europe. Training in para gliding and para-gliding attacks have also been imparted.

Now when US Defence Secretary Robert Gates visited Pakistan, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani is reported to have said he cannot ensure stoppage of attacks against India.

A repeat of 26/11 Mumbai type attacks cannot be stopped for sure.

India’s External Affairs Minister S.M.Krishna has retorted saying any attack launched from Pakistani soil will be retaliated. It would be the responsibility of Pakistan for all attacks.

Civilised society is in peril of being destroyed by the machinations of wayward faith-based terrorists.
