After a terrorist is caught with arms and explosives, a few questions will naturally press themselves: how, when and from which source these were obtained, which is the transit/conduit, what was the source and nature of financing? What did the militants plan to do before the law of the land got them, where and from whom did they receive the necessary training for making or detonating bombs? The public have been kept in the dark about these matters. And as for the source of finance, almost nothing has ever been disclosed. If cooperation is sought from the public, they should be taken into confidence instead of being fed on periodic, officially-cleared handouts.
And there is the seminal question relating to the terrorists’ indoctrination. If an extremist is ready to immolate himself, it becomes very difficult for the security apparatus to foil him. The question is how he turns into such a single-minded fanatic as to commit chilling inhumanities and that too with no regard for his own safety. The source of the mind-bending indoctrination must be examined – the curriculum, text, tutelage, training, lecture, audio-video, peer-group influence, fatwa which effectively dehumanised him. And these perverse influences are very much present in the environment which shaped him, and continue to shape countless others.
