While there has been a lot of media focus on lessons learnt from 26/11, little attention has been paid to the emerging future trends in terrorism and the countermeasures that would be required.

Terrorists organisations do not, and logically should not, repeat the methodology used in a major successful action. It goes against their principal strength – surprise – which gives them an edge over the security forces.

Timing, scale and method employed are a choice of the terrorists. Also, the terrorist actions in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) and the hinterland of India are likely to follow different patterns. In Jammu and Kashmir, the terrorists target the police, Army, politicians, government officials and installations. Since they enjoy public support in the Valley, only the “traitors” are targeted. In the hinterland of India, their focus is primarily on killing a large number of people.
