This is the answer the US has always given India. The first is the answer the US gives to the rest of the world: We must rely on foreign governments to apprehend terrorists in their own countries. So, how does a country cope with the threat of terrorism from across its border? That has been the pattern over the last two decades.Īlso read: Doctor of death - inside Ayman al-Zawahiri’s 50-yr career at heart of global jihadist factory And once things settle down in Pakistan, they will resume. Although the US officially accepts the Pakistani position that the terrorism is carried out by non-State actors (the ‘snakes’ that Pakistan is supposed to keep in its backyard), no Indian intelligence officer seriously believes that the attacks are not State-sponsored or State-encouraged. Over the last year, as Pakistan grappled with internal problems of its own, terrorist attacks in India have slowed down. This means that India has two terrorism-supporting countries at our doorstep. We already know about Pakistan’s terrorist infrastructure. There is evidence to suggest that Afghanistan is now becoming a centre of al-Qaeda operations.

At least bin Laden had tried to remain out of sight. It is a measure of how safe Zawahiri felt in Kabul that according to the US, he spent long periods of time on his balcony where he was clearly visible from the streets and the skies. Just as Osama bin Laden hid out in Abbottabad, probably with the connivance of the US’ great ally, Pakistan, Zawahiri was sheltered by people who the US told us were actually not such bad chaps, really. But history has a way of repeating itself. When the US pulled out of Afghanistan, it told the world that the Taliban had assured it that Kabul would not become a safe haven for terrorists. Al-Zawahiri was killed when two US missiles (possibly Hellfires) struck his home in Kabul, where he had been hiding under the noses of his old pals, the Taliban. But the US policy of assassinating terrorists does raise many questions that should concern us in India.īut first, the assassination.
