LAHORE: Thousands of in**cent civilians and security personnel around the world have been killed in hundreds of incidents by terrorists during 2016—making the planet a more dangerous place to breathe on as blood continues to pour down the drains almost every day despite lot of measures being initiated internationally to harness the monster of terrorism.
It goes without saying that apart from terrorism, while many nations on the earth are today plagued with linguistic, communal, sectarian and ethnic violence, natural disasters and calamities like floods, earthquakes and storms etc, also continue to endanger human lives.
In addition, epidemics have an immense potential to imperil human existence too, raising a few question marks on the speed at which science and medicine are advancing vis-a-vis the diseases!
But coming back to the incidence of terrorism during 2016, research shows that while it has shattered the calm and tranquility of countries like United States, Belgium, Turkey and Israel etc, the menace could **t be defeated in Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, Egypt, Bangladesh, Niger, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Iraq, Somalia, Cameroon, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Congo and Ivory Coast.
The first dawn of 2016 had seen three people getting killed by an Arab-Israeli gunman Nasha’at Melhem in a Tel Aviv pub. The killer was apprehended on January 8 and shot dead. There were media reports that the attacker may have been inspired by the ISIS.
