It was Hasan bin Sabah who had first thought up the idea of killing his adversaries through suicide bombing. Had Halakul Khan not killed him when he ransacked Baghdad and was told by many persons of Hasan bin Sabah ‘s atrocities. God knows how many more persons he would have got killed through brainwashed youngsters whom he misled by brainwashing him that they will land in jannah once he killed such and such man.
His novel technique of killing his foes caught on with the passage of time. The only difference between his technique and that prevalent today is that he got his adversaries killed through the use of knives whose tips were soaked with poisonous liquid while today the suicide bombers ram into their targets while wearing jackets loaded with blasting material.
The teenagers get brainwashed. easily. They are told that this act of theirs will ensure reservation of their seat in heavens where they will live among the ‘houris’ and partake milk and honey in abundance.
The grown and growing incidence of suicide bombings in the country can only be controlled by preempting them and this is possible only if our intelligence agencies work overtime, gird up their loins and get hold of the suicide bombers in their planning stage before they could get their act together. It isn’t difficult to reach them as suicide bombing is not the handiwork of a single man. There are so many persons involved in like the one who prepares the fatal jacket, one who arranges transport or place where he stays before carrying out his crime. The information where more than one person is involved in a crime can easily get leaked provided if an effective intelligence system is at work and the the intelligence network by striking the suicide bombers before he gets his act together.
