The lack of a central anti-terror agency is hitting some countries too hard
One still well remembers what happened in the Beslan school terror attack where more than a thousand students were made hostage by a Chechen rebel group, or the Moscow Theatre crisis where more than 700 hostages were taken by similar guerrillas. The special anti-terror force called OSNAZ of FSB, the Russian version of FBI, did what it had to do, without worrying about short-term implications [that is, they killed most of the rebels without negotiating]. Though it can be argued whether this was an intelligent move, the fact is, in cases of national security, individual states take second place.
Ireland, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Australia, Denmark and many others have wiped themselves clean of terror attacks. The case is surely ripe for setting up similar central agencies even in countries like India. So has India moved ahead? We hear they can’t even decide on a central active commander for their defence forces (who continues to be the non-executive titular head, the President), what to talk about their intelligence agencies. What’re they waiting for? We know the answer – Bruce ‘Die Hard’ Willis! He always ends up saving the world!
