Terrorism OR Bomb Blast
Terrorism means the use of force and threats against persons, groups or governments for political another purpose. Terrorism is not a modern activity. Hundred of years ago societies were not as organized as they are today with modern facilities of roads, telephone, regular police force and so on. Then heads of strong groups of people, robbers, and warriors made use of force and threats to life and property to get their aims.
Now terrorism itself is quite organized activity. There are terrorists organizations or societies which train terrorists for there purposes. Sometimes these governments and huge funds and modern weapons are easily provided to them. There can be some terrorists like robbers acting personally for limited purposes.
Firstly a regular terrorist organization usually works against the government. It tries to damage key government buildings, offices and public places like railway stations and airports with bombs and destructive weapons. It kills people and destroys property in crowded places like market centers, bus stands, and railway stations. This sets the people against the government and causes public demonstrations. The bomb blast and the resulting deaths and destruction in different parts of our country are an example of such terrorism.
A terrorist organization operating in a country usually gets money and weapons from foreign governments. It also joins hands with forceful groups or parties opposed to the government inside the country.
Second, nations or big communities within a country use terrorist methods to gain greater freedom or independence. Thus the Sikhs in India have been committing an act of terrorism to achieve self-rules in punjab. The Irish people in north Ireland have been terrorizing the British government to force it to grant them independence.
Third, there are internal or international terrorists like Carlos who actively hijacks planes or kidnaps (take away unlawfully) important or rich persons. The demand huge amount of money for the release of prisoners or some political concessions or the kidnapped persons. Air hijacking has been quite common.
Terrorism needs to be checked very carefully. The government should force all the people illegally present in the country to leave. It should force the refugees to remain in their camps all the time. It should make arrangements to stop the illegal flow of arms and money into the country from abroad.I t should have a really effective secret service which can report all kinds of terrorist plans.I t may help the United Nations Organization to establish a special anti-terrorist international force. Other steps for checking terrorism take the use of the police or the army on a large scale can be discussed in newspapers, on the radio and TV (the mass media )and in the elected assemblies.
After the striking of airplanes with the American World Trade Center, all the countries of the world decided to root out terrorism from the world. Pakistan is a peace loving country and playing an active role against terrorism.
Terrorism is the most horrible threats of today. It has become a global problem. The whole world is facing the horrible consequence of terrorism. The cause of terrorism is varied and diverse. International terrorism is present in various forms. Bomb blast, hijacking, cross boarder terrorists activities and massacre on a massive scale are familiar forms of terrorism. The main motive of international terrorism is to weaken a country politically, socially, economically and administratively. Though much effort is in progress to eliminate terrorism from society, it cannot be rooted out until some international laws of justice are devised. Whenever and wherever there is brutality, injustice, wrongs, and intolerance, terrorism cannot be eradicated.
