Contrary to popular belief, counterinsurgency and counterterror operations usually require a minimal application of force to overcome the adversary, for whom the population serves as a human shield (whether actively or passively). UK authorities said they worked closely with Pakistan on the case, with the alleged plotters under surveillance for at least a month, and some reports suggested the counterterror operation had been ongoing for several months. The new regulations, which could be in place by early next year, would make permanent a counterterror measure taken after last week's foiled plot to bomb trans-Atlantic flights. |
