Contrary to majority of terrorist acts we hear about concerning the world there were two major terrorist acts that were prevented by police in Russia. On Wednesday, September 29th fifteen militants were killed during a security operation explained by the Russia's National Antiterrorism Committee. Bringing in explosive experts during an inspection special equipment was used to set off the device that had 10 kg of TNT and destroyed the three story tall wall of the house. There was also a car containing 3 kg of TNT that was discovered. Weapons and ammunition were seized from the bodies of the militants as well as messengers of an Al Qaeda emissary. Terrorist attacks and violent shootout within the North Caucasus republics with places such as Dagestan, Chechnya and Ingushetia have been seen all too often and the government has promised to crack down on the issue.
Today society especially with the idea of War on Terror has become so common that success stories give hope to the prevailing issue of terror. Before doing so many articles on terrorism I was not aware of how far Al Qaeda has spread throughout the world. Being that we have made more technological advances in fighting the war it shows that we have made strides towards preventing the war on terror although we have not necessarily stopped the source. I also am very interested in the idea that the police have inspection that take place in areas of increased terror. It proves that military intelligence agencies are working and combining forces with the least possible harm. In past stories we here about the innocent lives lost and unfortunate event but this is a success story on the War on Terror.
