What can be the motive? Are these Christian or Moslem dominated areas? Are these areas the stronghold of one political party or an equally divided political hotbed? This will give a clue if it was for purely religious or political reasons. These are the kinds of questions the security agencies should be asking or else they continue going in circles or picking up some people and torturing them,and the vicious cycle goes on. 1 Like |
