The recent terrorist attacks at Lumbini Park and Gokul Chat at Hyderabad , was a probably an avoidable situation. The security organisations are aware of the importance of the city and its neighbour Bangalore on the terrorist hit map. So, why can't necessary steps be taken to avoid such incidents?
Terrorist sleeper cells work on a very simple methodology. Each cell seems to have two to three people required to carry out such a task. The cell is controlled by external person (Lets call Him the Cell Keeper) either from Pakistan or Bangladesh. If a cell has to carry out any operation, it definitely has to increase the number of interactions with its 'Cell Keeper' placed outside the country. This implies increased number of calls and interaction over the net. This is the exact scenario which had happened in the case of Hyderabad blasts also.
The Cell Keeper definitely has to be placed outside the country as he handles multiple sleeper cells. He cannot take the risk of being caught as each individual may have multiple sleeper cells under him, indicating that his survival is important to plan and run the network in a particular region. Also the Cell Keeper has to be in constant touch with the Jihadi masterminds.
Breaking the communication link between the Cell Keeper and the sleeper cells should be an important milestone the security agencies should work on. To avoid such situations in future and monitoring and tracing all calls to Pakistan and Bangladesh should be their primary target.
