It is Possible To Stop Suicide Attacks

By Mohsin Sehgal • Apr 12th, 2009 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look • 18 Comments

Is really that the case about the suicide attacks that they cannot be stopped? Well, when the suicide bomber is on your head, just some yards away then, its virtually impossible to stop him by blowing himself. Though with proper measures, the damage can  be controlled. But as a whole is it really impossible to stop the suicide bomber?

It seems that the intelligence gathering apparatus in the Pakistan is either not working comprehensively and professionally or there is the lack of focus on the part of the leaders. Lack of instruments, dearth of information, and deficiency of the man power and above all the ambiguous support from the nation in the war against terror are the basic reasons why suicide bombings are on the rise and are unstoppable.

Pakistan’s political leadership is really not up to the mark to stop the terrorism. There is no national security advisor and there is no interior minister. We only see Rehman Malik running up and down and sideways whenever suicide bombing happens and every time he tells us so smugly and casually that suicide bombings cannot be stopped, and they are devising some multi-pronged strategy, and that’s it and we wait for another breaking news about yet another terrorist attack in the country.

Political leadership is not focusing upon the legitimate issues. They are just issuing the statements. They only say that they want to curb and eliminate the terrorism. They only say that they are in the process of doing that and then they go to their palaces and forget about that.

I mean who is this Qari Hussain who is now being touted as the mastermind of preparing the suicide bombers. He is known to prepare suicide bomber in 24 days and then that is sold for 1.5 million rupees. This Qari Hussain is also said to be running his “academy” in the Waziristan Area somewhere near MiranShah. Why, and I again ask Why, Why, Why he is not  being traced and why our security forces are unable to drag him out of his rat hole? I mean he won’t be doing that stuff in some cave or underground tunnel. He must be doing it with multiple in fact dozens of suicide bombers at some premises, giving them commando training and suicide maneuvering and such stuff. All that brainwashing requires the use of audio/visual aids and that needs a whole setup with many people in the management.

Stopping Suicide bombers is not at all impossible. Rather it’s not even that difficult. These suicide bombers cannot be stopped at the roads, walls or at the gates. They are to be stopped where they are being prepared. They are being prepared at Waziristan, Mohmand and Dera Ismail Khan area. They are vast areas, but given the urgency of the matter and the war-like-situation, our security and political leadership should go at war footings in these areas and Do It Now.

  1. Today I heard the story of chakwaal suicide bomber who just blew him off in one of shia’s mosque in last week.People of chakwal told me that he was pure afghani and came here along with his family from some Afghani camp.They were living other and earning bread and butter through there labour work.that boy was regular visitor of mosque for last 6 months.very quite and looked submissive and spent hours in this mosque.The day he did this ,he was stopped by the nephew of local MPA as something was seeing suspicious under his shirt.But in first stop he blew himself killing all witness near to him .When people rushed to his home they came to know that his other family members had already left this place a month ago.Where? nobody knows.The interesting thing is that police is not interested in chasing them as they are not accepting people’s point of views.So now people are gathering on daily basis on different places for showing their anger on police ,rehman malik and in the end zardari.
    Chakwal has no history of shia sunni conflict and all are living in state of harmony for many many years.So I dont agree with author that these bombers are coming from specific areas only, they are just living near to our premises in the matrix of deprived and dejected species.

  2. TPS
    an expert has denied the opinion of writer and delineated the mode of suicide bomber so please change this topic since no further discussion is required……rubbish

  3. Dear Nazia

    May i know ur educational background??and what do u do for a living??

    i am often SURPRISED by some of your comments.

    Regards and hope you answer

  4. I can write some english words that is only requirement of this forum so I am here.But why are you in state of surprise by some of my comments.it is little surprise for me too.

  5. Dear Nazia

    Look at this statement:

    “”People of chakwal told me that he was pure afghani and came here along with his family from some Afghani camp.”"

    Its surprising that people of Chakwal told YOU about the suicide attacker.
    Are you into Police or ISI??
    Also, your Pak media has NOT REPORTED SUCH DETAILS ABOUT IT.

    So what you are saying is infact BREAKING NEWS!!!!

    Also you CLAIMED that after that “flogging” video that you spoke to hundreds of people of that region.

    i dont remember when, BUT YOU ONCE claimed that u interviewed a terrorist in some middle-east country or egypt or jordan….dont remember exactly where.

    All this is a bit surprising.

    But i still DIDNOT get my answers…….you dont have to say everything……just what job u have?and what is your educational qualifications??

    Regards

  6. Dear Nazia

    Also your knowledge about EVERY TOPIC is amazing.

    Regards

  7. Indian
    dont think deeply.Few of Chakwaal people who become victims of this attack are living close to me .
    The people which I mentioned in my flogging comments are working with me in construction site these days. Secondly I am very very social person in my way.
    The telephonic talk with terrorist in UK was arranged By BBC where I sent my few comments regarding on terrorism issue after 7/7 events in UK.
    I request you dont probe me further as I cant speak lie and nothing more I can reveal about me.

  8. Dear Nazia

    Thanks for your reply.

    Its okay.You dont have to say anything.

    No more questions from me

    Regards and hoping to read some GREAT comments from you.

  9. yeh !amazing new wonder of the wordl of TPS

  10. According to the Modern Medical Science, A Human being only uses 4-5% of its brain.

    But still it’s so powerful.

    It is said that Albert Einstein, considered to be the Genius Most man on the planet earth, used only 8-9%.,some says 11 to 13 %

    Let’s say you are (Devi) (Miss India) so smart, you are using 15% part of your brain.

    Now what’s in the remaining 85% of your brain?

    It’s the sub-conscious.

    Subconscious is the part of your brain that is with you, but you still do not know about.

    So what’s in it?

    If you know what’s in that sub-conscious part of your brain, you will simply increase the proportion of the part of the brain that is called (consciousness) but still you can’t ever get rid of your sub-conscious.

    Some times unintentionally or mistakenly what we do is because; that was in our mind; but in the sub-conscious part which we say a backup.

    It means that sometimes we do what our sub-conscious orders us to do until our conscious part overrules it.

    It means if I can cover or overcome your conscious part I can put you at task as required since your ability to perceive as threat has been demolished or infact temporary withheld by increasing your subconscious part of brain which has been fed with desired motive or at contrary by decreasing the conscious alert part.

    Simply one can make you slave by controlling your brain without letting you know.

    Under such situation he would not try to control the conscious part of your brain but he would rather try to control the sub-conscious part.

    This is because if he would try to control conscious part of your brain, he would have resistance since his intentions would be perceived by you hence you will put him in resistance.

    Probably it is this strategy as mesmerize or hypnosis or whatever which is in conduction since teen age and person with portfolio as little knowledge and horizon like (Miss India or Devi) have incapacitated brain hence subconscious can overcome the conscious level thereby threat to perceive things does not remains the subject hence they may be put as desired .

    Where as subconscious under such themes are plagiarized with intent of suicide bomber.

    Such person when exposed to situation has backups as control of subconscious level of expressing retaliation, unintentionally or involuntary hence accomplishing their target as desired.

    It’s an inference as interpretation to delineate the mode of the mechanics and engineering as how one can make so many suicide bombers where motive at a glance can not be pertained as religious backups.

    I am still working to delineate this issue as opinion and would soon put it as articlewith the name (Devi as bomb,by Miss India)

  11. nazia is quite smart and I enjoy reading her comments as for the other two in this discussion (@Incredible Indian & Dr. Raza Haider) they are HOPELESS!!! It is a criminal waste of time reading their posts or comments. Peace, arif

  12. Hhahaha……My dear Arif

    You call me hopeless ha??

    But you are “Hope and Change”.

    Hope + Change = Change the Hope.

    Change the hope = Hopeless.

    So we are BROTHERS-IN-ARMS when it comes to hopelessness.

    Regards and have a great Sunday

  13. Pakistan is a great Islamic country and we ‘value’ our sovereignty really ‘greatly’ and don’t take ‘anymore’ any ‘orders’ directly from Washington or London. As ’self-respecting’, ‘honor valuing’ nation, it seems that in the recent meetings with our American guests we made it clear to them. In future we are not willing to take any nonsense ‘directly’; therefore, all the demands must be come through a party more acceptable to our gullible public minds. Who would be better suited, among all our masters, for this job than our Muslim masters, I mean brothers, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia; it appears appropriate to accept an order, oops, an advice, never mind the sovereignty, from them or is it through them than others.

    I have a hunch that finally our, self-imposed, leaders are willing to do what they are told, never mind the source. Our President, our COAS, the Chief Justice of Pak. Supreme Court and Nawaz Sharif they are all somewhere in the vicinity of the Kingdom and I dare speculate that from now on we will witness a joint and united effort to rid the country of the menace of terrorism of any brand and origin. No more overt or covert support to any Talibans irrespective of them being Afghans or our own homegrown variety. It is ‘win-win’ situation for us and all our ‘friends’.

    No more suicide bombers, no more terrorism - we are there finally!

  14. Nazia shines like a bright star, in between Dr. razaHaider, Incredible Indian and Aftab, What a super creation of superstars characters. great minds think alike.

  15. Hi Mohsin,
    The root cause is poverty and also the love a human being feels for his family especially in the subcontinent
    In India the farmers suicides are also traced to this social cause of FAMILY.A poor marginal farmer takes loan from a bank .He digs a well which turns out to be dry. He drinks his sorrow away but nothing happens. Now bank muscle men ask for money. Here the politician comes into play.He is ready to write off loan once he commits suicide by taking his cut from bank.The government pays the bank once the farmer commits suicide, the bank is happy, the family of farmer is happy as the land is still with them while the politician is happy with his cut.
    The sucide bomber also must be killing himself for the money which the Taliban pays his family after his death.May be his family gets more money as per body count his suicide bomb creats. So to stop suicide bombing the MONEY FROM SAUDI ARABIA Has to be stopped.
    In Bangladesh, they found money coming from UK IS FUNDING SUCIDE TERRORISM.

  16. Saeed Khan, no thanks, you can have her with her “great mind” !

    Johann, you are right. People raised without the love and attention of the ‘primary caregivers’ are the prime target of those seeking potential ’suicide bombers’ killers.

  17. easier said than done to get all intelligence and security organizations on board with the plan. it ain’t that simple, it’s easy, of course, to cuss Rehman Malik. sit down with a security head my dear and you’ll realize the fine network, the deep lines and gaps that need to be bridged before such an all-encompassing body comes together to fight these sporadic, unexpected horrors.

  18. May be the good way to stop suicide bomber is… don’t destroying a stone with a harder stone.
