Rapid News BREAKING ! A Change in Terrorist Strategy – An Analysis of Concurrent Terrorist Attack in Wana and Islambad

IMPORTANT READ TO UNDERSTAND THE TWIN ATTACKS TARGETING BY FAK AT WANA COLLEGE AND ISLAMABAD COURT PREMISES

With unrelenting effort, Pakistan Army and other Law Enforcement Agencies continue to achieve substantial successes in war against terrorism. Killing of over 1700 terrorists, the highest number since the war began, in the current year is reflective of the quantum of this success. This number does not include those taken out across the border. The success of LEAs is further augmented when key figures like Kharji Amjad Mazaham and other high value targets are included in this list.

In a major blow to their erstwhile strategy of targeting only LEAs, terrorists suffered maximum losses thus forcing them to rethink their strategy and hence attack on soft targets like the recent acts of terrorism in witnessed in Wana and Islamabad.

A key enabler in the success of the Army is the investment in modern technologies and fire power enhancing their capability of surveillance and precision strikes. Reverses in hard engagements is a demoralizing factor for foot soldiers of Khawarij forcing their leadership to shift to soft targets.

Terrorists’ strategy of targeting Law Enforcement only and avoiding civilians was derived from the need of maintaining their critical support base of local mafias, drug lords and smugglers of all sorts including their political masters, to expand their operational freedom. However, this has also been meeting failure as a number of local tribes have started denouncing their acts of terrorism to the extent of resorting to taking up arms.

The perverted ideology and narrative of these terrorist outfits has also been rejected across Pakistani society which has started acceding to terms like Fitna Al Khawarij and Fitna Al Hindustan and denouncing their narrative of self-coined Islam.

The accumulative effect of these set backs have created an immense frustration among their Afghan Masters and Indian abettors warranting desperate responses to mitigate the effects of State of Pakistan’ efforts to eradicate terrorism from the country.

There is a likelihood that an increased number of attacks against soft targets will be witnessed, which, despite its heavy cost, has its own cycle of diminishing returns. No sooner that this begins unfolding, the resolve of the people to take action against them will increase diminishing the frivolous voices of peace talks. Its a march to the end, inshallah
