The Sunday’s horrendous bomb explosion incident killing many people at the shrine of Baba Sahib, in Nowshehra, KP, has once again proved that target-hardening strategy for controlling terrorist attacks in the country especially in KP is not working. Target-hardening always leads to displacement of crime/terror acts. Terrorism is too complex a problem to be left to law-enforcement and security agencies. The government needs to identify deep rooted causes of terrorism in the country. All political, social and religious groups should be taken on board to solve this national problem.
