Nuclear Security Summit: We should focus on THREE contemporary features of terrorism

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has participated the Nuclear Security Summit at the White House in USA.

Modi confers with President Obama at Nuclear Security Summit  dinner and talked on nuclear terrorism threat at White House

‘Three’ key points from Narendra Modi’s speech:

We should focus on three contemporary Features of terrorism;

First, today’s terrorism uses extreme violence as theatre.

Second, we are no longer looking for a man in a cave, but we are hunting for a terrorist in a city with a computer or a smart phone

Third, State actors working with nuclear traffickers and terrorists present the greatest risk

“Terror has evolved. Terrorists are using 21st century Technology. But our responses are rooted in the past. Terrorism is globally networked. But, we still act only nationally to counter this threat,” he said.

“The reach and Supply Chains of terrorism are global; but genuine cooperation between nation states is not. Without prevention and prosecution of acts of terrorism there is no deterrence against nuclear terrorism,” he added.

“Drop the notion that terrorism is someone else’s problem and that “his” terrorist is not “my” terrorist. Nuclear security must remain an abiding national priority. All States must completely abide by their international obligations,” PM Modi said.
