Terrorism can be broken down to two elements: the intention to engage in acts of murderous violence, and the infrastructure needed to execute them. Terrorist intentions can best be addressed by investing in police intelligence and investigative capabilities. Not one State has intelligence databases or forensic capabilities of international standard. A national centre run by the Intelligence Bureau, which is supposed to act as the vanguard for capacity development, is an old promise that is yet to be met. Most State police forces remain under-staffed, under-trained, under-equipped.
