Corruption The Root-Cause of Terrorism

Corruption The Root-Cause of Terrorism


CORRUPTION leads to social injustice, unrest that basically gives birth to extremism and the terrorism. Ironically it is the same corruption, which also makes the terrorist attack possible. In this regard, most important of all is the ‘money-laundering’ the main source of Terrorist Finance, which most importantly provides its basic sustenance, logistics, arms and ammunitions (cash, credit card for food, shelter, travel, communications, cell-phone SIM card, vehicles training, guns explosives etc) for the terrorist attack.

However what really enables the terrorist leaders or its top brass to successfully disguises hide and escape detection from the law enforcement agencies while carrying out all the above mentioned terrorist activities is basically the use the *fake or forged ID* (or having no ID at all) in obtaining all those things, security matters mentioned above (specially phone connections, credit cards, arms and ammunitions) which then used as deadly terror weapons but leave no concrete evidence or the fingerprint records of its purchase by terrorist money laundering, network mainly by its leadership. Therefore it is the fake ID (or no ID at all), which enables the terrorist leadership to escape from the legal identification, detection arrest the most importantly from the conviction so to continue to promote the terrorist attack.

Therefore the prevention of corruption particularly the elimination of fraud or fake ID is utmost important to prevent the terrorist attack. However the conventional ID documents containing name address and signature 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) specially the fingerprints into it can absolutely prevent any one from faking it.

Therefore in order to combat the terrorist hiding behind the fake ID(or no ID) the governments first of all needs to get rid of corruption in all those ID security required areas. It can be singularly accomplished 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, dwelling rents, 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.
