Last year, the al Qaeda terrorist Dhiren Barot was jailed in Britain for plotting synchronized atrocities including the use of poison and radioactive bombs. Dhiren Barot was not brought up in poverty, or as a segregated Muslim. He was a middle-class Hindu convert to Islam. He started plotting his atrocities before 9/11, let alone Iraq. And he said something very significant. He said the reason terrorism was — in his view — an Islamic religious duty was that “terror works.” That’s because Britain, Europe, Israel, and, until 9/11, America, have all responded to unending Arab and Muslim terror by seeking to understand, accommodate, or appease the demands behind it. The greater the terror, the greater the self-flagellation of its victims.

Who started the war in Iraq and how that war was waged is common knowledge. But what defeats one’s imagination is that a leader of modern day France can talk the language of war with the Iraq episode fresh in everybody’s mind is beyond any level headed imagination.

The recent claim made by an Iranian military officer, General Rahim Yahya Safavi, that Iran has mapped out targets for retaliation is not empty rhetoric. This capability and not the nuclear programme may well be Iran’s secret weapon.

It is predicted that there will be a “Fergana Hiroshima” in Central Asia. The head of the CIS antiterrorism centre, Andrey Novikov, said the other day that secret services had obtained information that terrorists were moving to the borders of Central Asia states. The terrorists are seeking ways of creating weapons of mass destruction there. They are interested in the material for creating the so-called “dirty bombs”. According to intelligence officers, the terrorists are planning to get the filling for their atomic bombs at the uranium mines. These kinds of mines, by the way, also exist in our country.
