(May 24, Dhaka, Sri Lanka Guardian) Most of the countries of South Asia are facing terrorism. Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, Nepal have been facing it for a long time. One of the main characters of terrorism is that it is working to destabilization politics. Terrorists of this region have killed many important and promising politicians or leaders. Terrorists have killed the most promising politician and former Prime Minister of India Mr. Rajive Gandhi. Terrorists have killed an intellectual political leader and former Prime Minister of Pakistan Mrs. Benazir Bhutto. Terrorists also tried to kill Mrs. Sheikh Hasina, the present Prime Minister of Bangladesh. The terrorist attacked sheikh Hasina more than 22 times. Finally, on 21st August of 2004 terrorists attacked her with a huge number of grenades in her party’s rally. She survived because of her dedicated party leaders and workers. Hundreds of her leaders and workers made a human protection for saving her life. Twenty four of her leaders and workers sacrificed their lives and more than hundred got wounded. Some influential leaders of the then government and the Islamic terrorist organization Harkatul Jihad of Bangladesh organized this attack. After the failure of this attack, they took another attempt. It is an untold story. One of the influential ministers and a veteran leader of Awami league (the party of Sheikh Hasina) told me the story. 

The story is that, after the failure of 21st August the attackers took another attempt to kill Sheikh Hasina. The leader of the Harkatul Jihad and those influential persons of the then government then contacted with Tamil terrorists group to kill Sheikh Hasina. They went to an agreement that, Tamil terrorist will kill Sheik Hasina and Harkatul Jihad and the influential person of the then government will give a very big ammount for the killing. It was a huge deal. As per source, they did the agreement sitting on Bangkok. According to the agreement, the main killer or the operation masters of Tamil terrorist group came to India and the advanced team came to Bangladesh. The deal was that, two members of the advanced teams will recce the residence of Sheikh Hasina and they will take the first delivery of payment. That team also did the recce of the house of Sheik Hasina and took the first delivery of payment. Their plan was that, taking payment and finishing recce the advanced team will return to India. After that, the main killer group will enter in Bangladesh; and they will go for final operation to kill Sheikh Hasina. The advanced team left Bangladesh by road and the entered Indian province West Bengal. The two members of that advanced team died in a road accident in West Bengal of India. On the other hand, the main killer group waited for them in south of India more than fifteen days; but they did not get any information. Therefore they left India. On the other hand, police of India got a full bag of US dollars with the dead bodies. Police forfeited the money and deposited it to the treasury. Then intelligence stared to find out the source of money and they reached the goal. They came to know the whole story how the money came and who they were. However, it is fact that, an accident did help to dismiss an attack on Sheikh Hasina. On the other hand it is proven that, terrorist has no religion or boundary. From Islamic terrorist to Tamil all are same and they are working for destabilization the system. Besides that, they are killer group and they are working against humanity and the peace. 

In the present world this terrorism is the main problem. All over the world, people are facing that. Lives of progressive political leaders, writers, thinkers and the common people are in danger for terrorism. South Asia is also facing it with a profound risk. Like South Asia in all over the world terrorists have many group, many name but they all are doing same. Therefore for the cause of humanity and peace it is the time to take more measure to eliminate the terrorists. For eliminating any type of terrorists, every world and regional council or organization have to take bold and correct decision. They have to find out the way, how they can eliminate terrorism form the world because terrorism is common and main enemy of the present world. South Asia has a regional council named SAARC. The leaders of the SAARC have to take proper decision. They have to understand every type of terrorism is same. So they have to come close more to wipe out all kinds of terrorism. Therefore, world organization and the world leaders have to help to eliminate terrorism from South Asia based on reality.
