THE horrendous bomb explosion incident in which many people were killed at the shrine of Baba Sahib in Nowshehra has once again proved that target-hardening strategy to control terrorist attacks  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.
