Sneak bombing and getting away requires planning. But it is no different from any other ordinary crime such as burglary, pick-pocketing. 1) Any one with an ordinary level of intelligence can leave a "tiffin-career" or a "cycle" along with dozens of other such articles. 2) Anyone with some basic chemistry can get a mix of Ammonium Nitrate, diesel oil and so on, to expolde through some timer. It is not such a sophisticated operation. 3) No country can be completely immune to this. A fellow called McFaigh, a white American, set off a huge bomb made of fertilizers, nitrates and stuff that killed nearly 200 people (Oklahom). Can we be totally immune to burglary and jepdi? 4) BUT some simple precautions are necessary. They are easy to take: CCTV cameras on high poles, high observation platforms in nodal road and rail junctions, crowded markets and so on. Police and Home Guards need special training. 5) After 9/11 there has been only two prosecutions. After the nasty Madrid train bombing there has been only one or two prosecutions. Like any sneak theft, these are not easy to solve. But eventually, some arrests can be made. Britain has invested huge funds to keep under observation some two to three thousand muslim radicals. 6) In India, the UPA govt., equates terrorism with the entire muslim community. They are shy about taking any effective measures against radicals in the Islamic community. They do jump on Hindu radicals, banning the Togadias from this and other places.
