Fundamental Difference Of “IT To Root-Out Corruption…..”

There are many (specially in the last decade or so) who propose biometric identity technology to combat terrorism or the bank accounts credit card money fraud and many such ID forgery related crimes. Some of those research as well commercial biometric security websites that I found in my Google search given in the following;

http://www.rand.org/pubs/issue_papers/IP218/
www.rand.org/pubs/issue_papers/IP218/IP218.pdf
http://www.banking.com/aba/cover_0197.htm
http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c4206/
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_/ai_80092474
www.celent.com/PressReleases/20060329(2)/BiometricsJapan.htm

However the fundamental difference to all those above proposals(with my due respect) to my proposal of “IT To Root-Out Corruption, Terrorism …….,” is that the latter unites the Biometrics with the Electronic Money Transaction technology under the title of “IT” (Information Technology) and proposes Mandatory Biometric Identity (MBID) in all bank accounts together with making all money transactions above a given amount directly only through bank accounts named Mandatory Electronic Money Transaction (MEMT) to root-out the entire range of corruption and the crimes as we see it today.

However to make it more adaptable or feasible in the present world situation my immediate “IT…,” proposal before the Government is; to make it compulsory the buying and selling (money transactions) of all financial, communication, social and national “SECURITY” matters such as credit card, large sums of money, phone connection, SIM card, driving license, voters ID, arms and ammunitions guns, explosive etc, only directly through the bank accounts having the persons biometric identity. This can significantly eradicate all those corruption crimes which most importantly includes the terrorism that our world witnessing today.

NIA India Needs Biometrics to Eliminate Terrorism

Prompted by the Mumbai terror attack with its intense political pressure the Indian Government introduced two bills to set up a National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Tuesday (16th Dec 2008). See one of its reports in http://article.wn.com/view/2008/12/17/Centre_to_decide_cases_NIA_will_probe/?section=TopStories&template=cheetah-photo-search%2Findex.txt

However the most important thing the government needs to give to the NIA in order successfully combat terrorism is to “bring in Mandatory Biometric Identity MBID in all bank accounts thereby making the buying and selling (money transaction) of things of important security (financial, social, communication, national) matters, most importantly cell phones, SIM, guns, explosives etc, also the credit cards and large sums of money (say above 10,000 Rs. Or 1000 dollars), only directly through ones bank to the others bank accounts. Installation of this Mandatory biometric and electronic money transaction combined technology in all bank accounts enable the Government law enforcement to get the fingerprint evidence record linking the terrorist leaders or its network. Most importantly in a MBID in all bank account system, a BID of any suspect can enable the law enforcement agencies to effortlessly and most certainly find out every bank accounts credit cards that person having in every banks (national international) and similarly all the other bank accounts BID and account details that transacted with it, i.e. the infallible biometric identity of the people who supplied finance, logistics, weapons used in the terrorist attack. Thereby the irrefutable evidence to identify, arrest and convict all of them their entire network so to root-out terrorism. – Anyhow I wish the NIA all the success in its mission.

Corruption Causes Terrorism: Biometrics To Eliminate It

CORRUPTION is the root-cause of Terrorism. Corruption leads to social injustice, unrest that gives birth to extremism and the terrorism. Ironically it is the same corruption that gave birth to terrorism also basically facilitates the terrorist attack. In this regard, its Money-Laundering arm, which mainly provides basic sustenance,(cash, credit card for food, shelter etc) logistics (training and other facilities, communication, cell-phone SIM card, transport vehicles etc) arms and ammunitions (guns explosives etc) for the terrorist attack.

Above all it is the corruption that basically enables the terrorist leaders to leave no concrete evidence that links them to the crime. Almost all those who have been suspected as its leaders or top brass, ordering or supplying finance and logistics to it nevertheless by corruption they are able to leave no concrete evidences behind, which otherwise would have undeniably linked them to it. The captured terrorist confessions or their satellite phone call tracing from one to the other country would not meet the international standards as the undeniable evidence, unless some other concrete corroborative evidences to prove it. Therefore, even if the Governments law enforcement arrest them mainly on the basis of the captured terrorists confession (public, international pressure of course!) it won’t stand as enough or credible evidence in the court of justice under the rules of law. So the courts eventually let them go free due to the lack of some undeniable or concrete evidence of their involvement in the attack. Mumbai terror attack and its aftermath show us its glaring example.

However there are technologies available and very much used in the IT field today can absolutely record the irrefutable evidence or proof of the terrorist leaders or its top officials, their concrete fingerprints (literally) in the finance and logistics used in the terror attack. Believe it or not the government can easily (comparative) accomplish this task simply by bringing in Mandatory Biometric Identity (MBID) in all bank accounts thereby making the buying and selling (money transaction) of things of important security (financial, social, communication national) matters, most importantly cell phones, SIM, guns, explosives etc, also the credit cards and large sums of money (say above 10,000 RS. Or 1000 dollars), only directly through ones bank to the others bank accounts. First of all it is impossible to any one to fake and produce forge Biometric Identify (BID). Which when combined into the persons bank account can absolutely record the concrete electronic money transaction trail in the bank accounts records of the terrorist leaders (or their officials) who supplied the finance and the logistics for the terror attack. The BID can absolutely find out all the bank accounts credit cards they have in every other banks and all the others bank accounts that transacted with it along with all those account details. It will provide more than enough undeniable evidences to arrest and convict the entire terror network thereby to root out terrorism. What really needed is the political will to get it done.

Corruption The Root-Cause of Terrorism

CORRUPTION leads to social injustice, unrest that gives birth to extremism and the terrorism. Ironically it is the same corruption once again that makes the terrorist attack possible. In this regard, particularly its Money-Laundering, which most importantly provides its basic sustenance, (cash, credit card for food, shelter etc) logistics (training and other facilities, communication, cell-phone SIM card, transport vehicles etc) arms and ammunitions (guns explosives etc) for the terrorist attack.

However it would be impossible for the terrorist leaders or the top brass to escape detection from the law enforcement while carrying out all the above mentioned terrorist finance activities unless they successfully disguises and hide themselves from the detection of law. What make it possible basically is the use the fake or forged ID (or having no ID at all) in obtaining all those things mentioned above (specially phone connections, credit card, arms and ammunitions) which then used as deadly terror weapons but leave no concrete evidence or the fingerprint records of its purchase by the terrorist network mainly by its leadership. Therefore it enables them to escape from the legal identification, detection arrest the most importantly from the conviction.

Therefore the prevention of corruption particularly the elimination of fraud or fake ID is utmost important to prevent the terrorist attack. The conventional ID containing name address and signature document of a person very much prone to fraud or security breach. As the corruption perpetrators can successfully forge it and produce all kinds of fake or bogus ID documents. However by adding the Biometric Identity (BID) into it can absolutely prevent any one from faking it.

Therefore in order to combat terrorism hiding behind the fake ID or no ID the governments first of all needs to get rid of corruption in the ID area by bringing in a policy of compulsory or Mandatory Biometric Identity MBID) in all bank accounts and any one buying, selling or transferring important financial, social, communication and national SECURITY matters like credit cards, voters ID, driving license, phone connection (including cell-phone, SIM card etc), weapons, explosives, drugs or any big transfer of money or asset should do its money transaction only through their bank to the others bank account. Finally to conclude it in once sentence; ‘it will successfully end the menace of fake ID in security matters thereby root-out corruption along with terrorism.

Biometric Identity In All Bank Account Need - To Convict Terrorist Leaders

The greatest difficulty in arresting and convicting the terrorist leaders in order to prevent the terrorist attack is; almost all those who have been suspected as its leaders or top brass, ordering or supplying finance and logistics to it nevertheless able to leave no concrete evidence behind that can concretely link them to it. The captured terrorist confessions or their satellite phone call tracing from one to the other country (India Pakistan) would not meet the international standards as the undeniable evidence unless some other concrete corroborative evidences to prove it. Therefore, even if they arrest them mainly on the basis of the captured terrorists confession it won’t stand as enough or credible evidence in the court of justice under the rules of law, so the courts eventually let them go free due to the lack of some undeniable or concrete evidence of their involvement in the attack. The 22/11/08 Mumbai terror attack and its aftermath blame game between India Pak in vain, shows us its glaring example.


However there are technologies available and very much used in the IT field today can absolutely record the irrefutable evidence or proof of the terrorist leaders or its top officials, their concrete fingerprints (literally) in the finance and logistics used in the terror attack, whether they like it or not! Believe it or not the government can easily (comparative) accomplish this task simply by bringing in Mandatory Biometric Identity (MBID) in all bank accounts thereby making the buying and selling (money transaction) of things of important security(financial, social, communication national) matters, most importantly cell phones, SIM, guns, explosives etc, also the credit cards and large sums of money (say above 10,000 RS. Or 1000 dallars), only directly through ones bank to the others bank accounts. First of all it is impossible for any one to make or produce a forged Biometric Identify (BID). Which when combined into the persons bank account can absolutely record the concrete electronic money transaction trail in the bank accounts records together with the the irrefutable BID of the terrorist leaders (or their officials) who supplied the finance and the logistics for the terror attack. The BID can further find out absolutely all the bank accounts credit cards they may have in every banks and the BID’s of every one of those bank accounts and its details that transacted with it. It will provide more than enough undeniable evidences to arrest and convict the entire terror network thereby to root out terrorism. What really needed is the political will to get it done.

It is the best article that I have ever read on the Mumbai terror attack from Indian perspective. I would very much like to congratulate the author that I mostly share her view and like to write it to her.

Title:
Corruption and Terrorism Very Much Connected

OR

(Fake-ID Enables Terrorism: Biometric-ID Disables it)


This is my perspective comment on the article titled: Mumbai was not our 9/11" in Guardian <
www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/dec/12/mumbai-arundhati-roy> on Friday 12 December 2008.

To sum it all, CORRUPTION is the root-cause of Terrorism. Corruption leads to social injustice, unrest that gives birth to extremism and the terrorism. Ironically it is the same corruption once again that makes the terrorist attack possible. In this regard, its Money-Laundering hand, which mainly provides basic sustenance,(cash, credit card for food, shelter etc) logistics (communication, cell-phone SIM card, transport vehicles etc) arms and ammunitions (guns explosives etc) for the terrorist attack.

However corruption especially its terrorism wing can not escape detection from the law enforcement while carrying out all the above mentioned activities unless it successfully disguises and hide itself from the detection of law by leaving no concrete evidence or recoded proof of the money trail or the terrorist finance. What really enables it to do it successfully is the use the fake or forged ID (or having no ID at all) in obtaining all those things mentioned above (specially phone communication arms and ammunitions) which then used as deadly terror weapons.

The use of fake ID documents in obtaining the things like cell-phones credit cards, guns, explosive used in the terror attack and having no concrete money trail evidence of it that can link to the top brass of the terrorist today blocks the arrest and conviction of the main suspect leadership. Therefore preventions of fraud or fake ID is the paramount important requirement of preventing the terror attacks.

The conventional ID containing name address and signature document of a person very much prone to fraud or security breach. As the corruption perpetrators can successfully forge it and produce all the fake or bogus ID documents. However by adding the Biometric Identity (BID) into it can absolutely prevent any one from faking it.

Therefore in order to combat terrorism successfully the governments needs to bring in a policy of compulsory or Mandatory Biometric Identity MBID) in all bank accounts and any one buying, selling or transferring important financial, social, communication and national SECURITY matters like credit cards, voters ID, driving license, phone connection (including cell-phone, SIM card etc), weapons, explosives, drugs or any big transfer of money or asset should do its money transaction only through their bank to the others bank account. Finally to conclude it in once sentence; ‘it will successfully end the menace of fake ID in security matters thereby root-out corruption along with terrorism.

Mumbai Terror Attack Letter to Outlook India

To,
The Editor
Outlook India.Com
AB-5 Safdarjung Enclave
New Delhi -110029
http://www.outlookindia.com/pti_news.asp?id=643072
mail@outlookindia.com

Dear sir,

This is in response to many of your news reports of 26th November 2008 Mumbai terror attack particularly the recent on 6th December 2008 titled; “Two arrested in Mumbai terror probe, bought SIM used by ultras”
http://www.outlookindia.com/pti_news.asp?id=643072 .

Here let me present my proposal to prevent such terror attacks.

The government should first of all bring in a policy or legislation that; any one buying or selling important security matters or things, like phone connection including cell phone, SIM card also weapons, explosives, drugs credit cards, or any big transfer of money or asset should do it only directly through their bank to the others bank account. And most importantly all the bank account should have Biometric Identity (BID) mainly the “fingerprints” to identify it. I call it Mandatory Biometric Identity (MBID) policy in all bank accounts. In this way it will make it impossible for any criminals including the terrorist to buy the above mentioned security matters with fake ID documents. This can greatly help to track down and catch the terror culprits by the payment they make for the things used in the terror attacks.

For example, in the world today when any phone call received, the technology undoubtedly enables the law enforcement to find out the callers phone number, the companies name thereby the name address and signature and other ID documents given by the person who purchased it as its owner. This greatly helps to track down and catch the culprits who committed crime using that phone.

Similarly by employing the advanced BID technology in the banking system the way I mentioned above will undoubtedly enable the law enforcement to pick up the lead from the suspects phone number directly to the bank account number (having the BID) from which the phone had been purchased. It is impossible to fake or forge the BID therefore most importantly it will enable the law enforcement to unmistakably find out all the bank accounts, or credit card in the country registered under this BID. So the law enforcement easily go through every money transaction conducted through all those bank accounts and credit cards having that particular BID thereby to find out any of its money transactions linked to this crime. Also every other bank accounts that conducted money transaction with it. In this way the law enforcement can investigate and find out the details of all the money transactions of the entire criminal network recorded in their BID bank account.

The great advantage of having the MBID in the banking system for the law enforcement that they can conduct most of their crime investigation effortlessly without even the suspects ever knowing whether they are or have been under the investigation! Moreover, the BID bank account details enable the investigator to decide whether the crime suspect are guilty or not guilty and to what extent. The payments for the things used in the crime directly made from a bank account contain the person BID forms the undeniable evidence that qulifies or satisfies the international standards. So to finally arrest and successfully convict the culprit. So to root out the corruption that in itself give rise to major crimes including terrorism.

Mumbai Terror Attack Letter To Bloomberg

Date:8th December 2008.

To,
Vipin V. Nair
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=avCjdA14VaQg&refer=home
vnair12@bloomberg.net

This is in regard to your news report titled “India Cuts Death Toll in Mumbai Terror Attacks to 163” on 6th December 2008. Among other things it reports about the SIM card used in the terror purchased by the unscrupulous people with fake or forged ID documents. Its ends with the words “ends with the statement; “waiting for concrete proof to be handed over.” Here my proposal of a new technical way of getting the concrete evidence or proof, which meets the International standardsthe so to arrest and convicting the culprits behind with the terror attacks.


It is a well known fact that the terrorist use of phones particularly the cell phones as one of their most lethal weapon in coordinating and mounting their gruesome terror attacks. To deter it the government places some strong security checks to make sure the identity of the person buying those phone connections. The buyers required to produce their voters photo identity cards and other related documents to get the phone connections including the SIM cards. However these kind of ID requirements mostly fail in prevent the unscrupulous people buying the phone connection with fake or forged ID document. In my opinion this kind of fake or bogus identity in security matters will continue unabated unless the Government place some new kind of ID security check requirement to prevent it.

Here is my suggestion to prevent the criminals from using the forged or bogus ID. The Government should bring a policy that any one buying or selling important security matters like credit cards, phone connection, or the SIM card (including its recharge), weapons, explosives, drugs or any big transfer of money or asset should do it only through their bank to the others bank account. And most importantly all the bank account should have biometric identity mainly the “fingerprints” to identify it. I call it Mandatory Biometric Identity (MBID) policy in all bank accounts. In this way it will make it impossible for any one to buy a phone connection or other security matter with fake identity including to the Mumbai terrorist. And perhaps they would not have able to carry out that Mumbai terror attacks at all.

Now some one may argue, those committed to the terrorist cause would obtain those security matters like phone connection, etc, at any cost even buying it from their own MBID bank account! Of Course it is a possibility. However if it happens then the law enforcement with the help of the MBID technology in all bank accounts can immediately track down and look into all the details of the money transaction of that account and get all its record evidences effortlessly. It will enable them to arrest and convict cuprites with great success.

Take for example the two suspect who supplied the SIM used by the Terrorist. If the BID policy in place then the law enforcement would have immediately tracked down, entreated and look into all details of the money transaction of the suspects account. From which any other bank accounts or credit cards through out the country having their MBID. Most importantly the purchase of all their phone connections including SIM cards, any weapons or explosives or any things bought under any of these accounts. They would have accomplished it effortlessly without even the suspects knowing whether they are under the investigation! From the available bank money transaction records the law enforcement able to decide whether their suspect are guilty or not guilty and to what extent. So they can finally arrest and successfully convict the culprit. Or they can produce these concrete recorded bank money evidence that meets the international standard before the world governments to expatriate the suspects (if they are outside the county) for the trial to convict them.

So when the MBID in all bank account policy placed in all countries in the world it will successfully combat and eradicate terrorism and the corruption or the wicked human crimes as a whole. To know more on this subject matter search “IT To Root-Out Corruption”

Biometric Identity to Prevent Forged ID’s Used in Crimes.


This is mainly in regard to the news media report on 6th December 2006 that the Mumbai Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS) have arrested two terror suspect who with fake or forged ID documents purchased the SIM card later used Mumbai terror attack.

It is a well known fact that the terrorist use of phones particularly the cell phones as one of their most lethal weapon in coordinating and mounting their gruesome terror attacks. To deter it the government places some strong security checks to make sure the identity of the person buying those phone connections. The buyers required to produce their voters photo identity cards and other related documents to get the phone connections including the SIM cards. However these kind of ID requirements mostly fail in prevent the unscrupulous people buying the phone connection with fake or forged ID document, which is exactly what had happend. In my opinion this kind of fake or bogus identity in security matters will continue unabated unless the Government place some new kind of ID security check requirement to prevent it.

Here is my suggestion to prevent the criminals from using the forged or bogus ID. The Government should bring a policy that any one buying or selling important security matters like credit cards, phone connection, or the SIM card (including its recharge), weapons, explosives, drugs or any big transfer of money or asset should do it only through their bank to the others bank account (by the credit card, or electronic money transaction it also includes bank D/D or the check). And most importantly all the bank accounts should have biometric identity mainly the “fingerprints” to identify it. I call it Mandatory Biometric Identity (MBID) policy in all bank accounts. In this way it will make it impossible for any one to buy a phone connection or other security matter with fake identity including to the Mumbai terrorist. And perhaps they would not have able to carry out that Mumbai terror attacks at all.

Now some one may argue, those committed to the terrorist cause would obtain those security matters like phone connection, etc, at any cost even buying it from their own MBID bank account! Of Course it is a possibility. However if it happens then the law enforcement with the help of the MBID technology in all bank accounts can immediately track down and look into all the details of the money transaction of that account and get all its record evidences effortlessly. It will enable them to arrest and convict cuprites with great success.

Take for example the two suspect who supplied the SIM used by the Terrorist. If the BID policy in place then the law enforcement would have immediately tracked down, entreated and look into all details of the money transaction of the suspects account. From which any other bank accounts or credit cards through out the country having their MBID. Most importantly the purchase of all their phone connections including SIM cards, any weapons or explosives or any things bought under any of these accounts. Further down all the other bank accounts that it made its money transactions with. It may lead into to the investigation of finding details of all those bank accounts. Similarly the investigation of all the phone call contact numbers. So the entire network of the terror suspect come under the ATS’s (law enforcement agencies) scanner. They would have accomplished it effortlessly without even the suspects knowing whether they are under the investigation! From the available bank money transactions, phone contact number and other such records the law enforcement able to decide whether their suspect are guilty or not guilty and to what extent. So they can finally arrest and successfully convict the culprit. They can produce these concrete recorded bank money transaction evidence of buying things used in the terror attack that meets the international standard before the world governments In case they need to expatriate the suspects from abroad for the trial to convict them.

So when the MBID in all bank account policy placed in all countries in the world it will successfully combat and eradicate terrorism and other crimes that mainly stems from corruption. To know more on this subject matter search “IT To Root-Out Corruption”

Biometric Identity In Bank Accounts Policy to Counter Terrorism

Immediately after every major terror attack there comes the outburst of public anger and grief the leaders condemnation and the assurances among other things to bring the culprits to justice!

There is absolutely no doubt that some powerful terror groups behind the Mumbai terror attack. The news reports Laskar-e- Toiba is the main suspect its main evidence comes from the captured terrorist’s (Ajmal Kasam) reported confession! However the “confessions” can not be considered enough or genuine evidence that satisfy the international standards to arrest and expatriate the alleged person unless there is some concrete collaborative evidence to place it before the impartial (international) court of Justice!

So the main question is; do the intelligence agencies have any other concrete evidence in the form of record document signed by any of those known (or unknown) terror leaders ordering this attack? Perhaps it is unwise to expect such recorded documents of terror attacks. However believe it or not, there remain a possibility of a concrete recorded evidence of money transaction documents having the sign or the fingerprints (biometric identity) that can mistakably identify people who financed or supplied weapons an other logistical supports for this terrorist attack! Today there are two extraordinary IT anticorruption/antiterrorism technologies widely available that can record every money transactions along with the biological identity of the persons who conducting these money transaction WHETHER THEY LIKE IT OR NOT!

Let me present the two extraordinary anticorruption/antiterrorism IT solutions available today that in my opinion can enable the Governments to concretely or physically track down, identify and capture the main culprits behind the terrorist finance. The first one is ‘to Make Biometric Identity (mainly fingerprint) Mandatory or Compulsory In All Bank Accounts’. I name it as; Mandatory Biometric Identity (MBID). The second one is to ‘conduct all money transaction above a given amount only by the electronic money transaction through ones bank to the others bank account named Mandatory Electronic Money Transaction (MEMT). For more details search “IT To Root-Out Corruption”.

Among the two, the first “MBID in all bank account” is primarily important. It also very much feasible, more easier and less expensive compared to many other antiterrorism measures that exists or being proposed today. Under the MBID in all bank account policy, no large sums of cash money or assets allowed to get transported, transfered or handed over to one to another except it is done through ones bank to the others bank account. This monetary regulation said be already in place in many countries. What’s more in the MBID policy is buying of important security matters like credit cards, phones its SIM cards and the recharge, drugs, weapons, explosives etc, should be also included it. The MBID in all bank account policy alone can significantly prevent the money laundering which is the main source of terrorist finance and the logistics intricately linked with it! If the MBID gets implemented first then the MEMT will inevitably follow sooner or latter.

The terrorist leaders, its top brass, organizations, at one stage or the other stage of their money transaction needs to have one or several bank accounts to deposit/withdraw its money, to send it to different terror locations buy weapons and other logistic to support the terror attack. We know today with the help of the available advance IT technologies the law enforcement agencies able to track down, identify and find from where also from which device the terror email had been sent or the phone number from which the anonymous terror call had been made and its other details. Similarly the MBID technology placed in all bank accounts can enable the law enforcement to detect, identify and track down every one involved in these terror finance and logistics with the individuals undeniable biometric identity fingerprint on it. It can be produced before the court of justice as the undeniable evidence to arrest and convict the main terror culprits. This will undoubtedly stifle down most of the terrorist finance along with it the organized acts of terrorism.
I have given some more details on this matter in my post
http://i-opinion-about.blogspot.com/2008/10/terrorist-strike-marriot-it-to-root-out.html.

Above all terrorism today is a Global phenomenon. So much so when it comes to international “money laundering” the main source of terrorist finance. Among others the illegal drug trade known to have close links with all of it. Therefore it is mainly the responsibility of worlds leading nations First of all to implement the MBID in all bank accounts in their respective countries to prevent this global terrorism and the rest of the world will follow the lead. What really needed is the “political will” to get it done.

I hope this information would at least add to our knowledge about this entirely new kind approach of combating terrorism in our future perspectives.

Mumbai Terror Lashkar? A Way To Produce Its Undeniable Evidence

There is absolutely no doubt that some powerful terror groups behind the Mumbai terror attack.

Similarly the MBID technology placed in all bank accounts can enable the law enforcement to detect, identify and track down every one involved in these terror finance and logistics with the individuals undeniable biometric identity fingerprint on it. It can be produced before the court of justice as the undeniable evidence to arrest and convict the main terror culprits. This will undoubtedly stifle down most of the terrorist finance along with it the organized acts of terrorism.
I have given some more details on this matter in my post
http://i-opinion-about.blogspot.com/2008/10/terrorist-strike-marriot-it-to-root-out.html.

Above all terrorism today is a Global phenomenon. So much so when it comes to international “money laundering” the main source of terrorist finance. Among others the illegal drug trade known to have close links with all of it. Therefore it is mainly the responsibility of worlds leading nations First of all to implement the MBID in all bank accounts in their respective countries to prevent this global terrorism and the rest of the world will follow the lead. What really needed is the “political will” to get it done.

Please Stop The Blame Game Over Mumbai Terror Attack


Let us please stop the blame game over the Mumbai terror attacks instead we need to find out some solution to combat it. In my opinion to prevent such terror attacks one must first need to eliminate the international network of money laundering (basically illicit money transaction) the principle source of terrorist finance the main culprit behind these terror attacks.

In this regard here I propose two extraordinary anticorruption/antiterrorism IT solutions, which in my opinion can enable the Governments to successfully track down, identify and capture the culprits behind the international money laundering, terrorist finance. Also the training, weapon and other logistic suppliers for the terror attack! The first one is ‘to Make Biometric Identity Mandatory or Compulsory In All Bank Accounts’ I name it as; Mandatory Biometric Identity (MBID). The second one is to ‘conduct all money transaction above a given amount only by the electronic money transaction through ones bank to the others bank account named Mandatory Electronic Money Transaction (MEMT). For more details search “IT To Root-Out Corruption”.

Among the two, the first “MBID in all bank account” is primarily important. It also very much feasible, more easier and less expensive compared to many other antiterrorism measures that exists or being proposed today. The MBID in all bank account policy (it includes buying of important security matters like credit cards, phones, weapons, drugs etc, in it) alone can significantly prevent the money laundering which is the main source of terrorist finance! If the MBID gets implemented first then the MEMT will inevitably follow sooner or latter.

Above all terrorism today is a Global phenomenon. So much so when it comes to international “money laundering” the main source of terrorist financing. Among others the illegal drug trade known to have close links with all of it. Therefore it is mainly the responsibility of worlds leading nations First of all to implement the MBID in all bank accounts in their countries to get rid of moneylaundering so the terrorist finance and the rest of the world will follow the lead.What really needed is the “political will” to get it done.

Mumbai Terror Main Culprit Terrorist Finance.

The main culprits behind the Mumbai terrorism attack undoubtedly are those on its top who primarily FINANCE these attacks. It is they who remotely control and run these terrorists network and send orders to its cells that finally carry out the attacks. However these top terrorist bosses always remain far away from the scene not directly involved in the attack and most importantly they leave no concrete evidence of their financial transaction behind these terrorist attacks. In other words there remains no concrete record evidence, which proves it their money that financed that attack. So those culprits continue to remain evidently untraceable, un-connectable, no concrete money trail proofs to show thus out of the reach of the law!

It happens mainly because the world Governments so far have failed to install the available anticorruption/antiterrorism IT techniques or mechanisms that can absolutely keep the records of all such illicit money transactions (includes the money laundering the main source of the terrorist finance) along with the culprits biometric identity as its concrete evidence to prove it before the law. So the government law enforcement becomes mostly incapable of tracking down nabbing and convicting the culprits behind the terrorist finance. As a result such terror attacks continue mostly unabated specially in countries such as India.

Having said this, let me present the two extraordinary antiterrorism IT measures, which can mostly prevent the money laundering so the terrorist finance. The first one is; ‘to Make Biometric Identity Mandatory or Compulsory In All Bank Accounts’ I name it as; Mandatory Biometric Identity (MBID). The second one is to ‘conduct all money transaction above a given amount only by the electronic money transaction through ones bank to the others bank account named Mandatory Electronic Money Transaction (MEMT).

Among the two, the first “MBID in all bank account” is primarily important. It also very much feasible, more easier and less expensive compared to many other antiterrorism measures that exists or being proposed today. The MBID in banks policy (it includes buying of important security matters like credit cards, phones, weapons, drugs etc, in it) alone can significantly prevent the money laundering which is the main source of terrorist finance! If the MBID gets implemented first then the MEMT will inevitably follow sooner or latter. I have explained more in details on this terrorism subject in my post titles “Terrorist Strike Marriot” in
http://i-opinion-about.blogspot.com/2008/10/terrorist-strike-marriot-it-to-root-out.html .

Above all terrorism today is a Global phenomenon. So much so when it comes to international Money Laundering and terrorist financing. Therefore It needs a united world effort to effectively tackle it down. The MBID and the MEMT can do it. What really needed is the “political will” to get it done.
