Handbook of Terrorism in the Middle East (Published by World Scientific Publishing, 2022)<br \/>3.

We all saw what happened to the Tamil Tigers in India. Ultimately the Tamil Tigers that were harbored in India provided training, weapons, and direction that came back to haunt India. Similarly, today Pakistan is haunted by Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). It is one of the biggest and the most active terrorist group in the world today.\n\nNo single agency or country can effectively counter evolving threats in isolation. Terrorism, transnational crime, cyber operations, and hybrid warfare are increasingly transcending borders, domains, and areas of expertise. So, I strongly urge all security professionals, from intelligence agencies and law enforcement to military and border security forces, to move beyond traditional silos and build genuine collaboration across domains, expertise, and territories \u2013 whether you like the people on the other side or not!\n\nRohan Gunaratna\">\n\n                <div class=\"sby_thumbnail_hover sby_item_video_thumbnail_hover\">\n                    <div class=\"sby_thumbnail_hover_inner\">\n                                                    <span class=\"sby_video_title\" >In security, you must shake hands with everyone!<\/span>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                                    <div class=\"sby_play_btn\" >\n                        <span class=\"sby_play_btn_bg\"><\/span>\n                        <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"fab\" data-icon=\"youtube\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-youtube fa-w-18\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M549.655 124.083c-6.281-23.65-24.787-42.276-48.284-48.597C458.781 64 288 64 288 64S117.22 64 74.629 75.486c-23.497 6.322-42.003 24.947-48.284 48.597-11.412 42.867-11.412 132.305-11.412 132.305s0 89.438 11.412 132.305c6.281 23.65 24.787 41.5 48.284 47.821C117.22 448 288 448 288 448s170.78 0 213.371-11.486c23.497-6.321 42.003-24.171 48.284-47.821 11.412-42.867 11.412-132.305 11.412-132.305s0-89.438-11.412-132.305zm-317.51 213.508V175.185l142.739 81.205-142.739 81.201z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg>                    <\/div>\n                                <span class=\"sby_loader sby_hidden\" style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"><\/span>\n            <\/a>\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"sby_item  sby_new sby_transition\" id=\"sby_VVVkeWtHTnJTZUp2bGRZNGtPampXODlnLlE0VU5yS3JveXpn\" data-date=\"1780978456\" data-video-id=\"Q4UNrKroyzg\">\n    <div class=\"sby_inner_item\">\n        <div class=\"sby_video_thumbnail_wrap sby_item_video_thumbnail_wrap\">\n            <a class=\"sby_video_thumbnail sby_item_video_thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Q4UNrKroyzg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-full-res=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/Q4UNrKroyzg\/maxresdefault.jpg\" data-img-src-set=\"{&quot;120&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/Q4UNrKroyzg\\\/default.jpg&quot;,&quot;320&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/Q4UNrKroyzg\\\/mqdefault.jpg&quot;,&quot;480&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/Q4UNrKroyzg\\\/hqdefault.jpg&quot;,&quot;640&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/Q4UNrKroyzg\\\/sddefault.jpg&quot;}\" data-video-id=\"Q4UNrKroyzg\" data-video-title=\"Suresh Sallay is being USED in Sri Lanka\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rohangunaratna.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/feeds-for-youtube\/img\/placeholder.png\" alt=\"Today, fake news is the number one threat in Sri Lanka. With lack of far sighted leaders failing to tell the truth to the masses, online falsehoods and manipulations are giving rise to an ignorant and an incompetent generation. The interview by Indeewari Amuwatte  was conducted when those who failed to prevent the Easter attack conspired with politicians to arrest Sri Lanka\u2019s most respected national security practitioner Major General Suresh Sallay. \n\nSri Lanka will enter a phase of instability and insecurity unless and until President A.K. Dissanayake, Malcolm Cardinal Ranjit, and others start to tell the truth now. Otherwise public will consume false narratives and parade the conspiracy theories damaging and destroying Sri Lanka\u2019s image and reputation. Sri Lanka\u2019s own criminal-justice system is now at stake. \n\nMy message to the politicians is direct - for personal and political gain, do not play with national security. Always tell the truth based on evidence and educate leaders and raise public awareness.\n\nRohan Gunaratna, \nAuthor, Sri Lanka\u2019s Easter Sunday Massacre, Lessons for the International
