(1) The September terrorist attacks on W.T.C. have put new emphasis on strategies of prevention and pre-emption.
(2) Terrorist attacks will demand even better intelligence than the strategies of containment and deterence.
Codes :
Answer: A
Both statements are correct, so the answer is (1) and (2) are correct.
After the attacks of 11 September 2001 on the World Trade Center, the United States shifted its emphasis from containment and deterrence, which work against states that have something to lose, to prevention and pre-emption, acting against threats before they materialise; the National Security Strategy of 2002 set this out (1).
Pre-empting terrorists depends on knowing what they plan, so such a strategy demands far better intelligence than containment and deterrence did (2). Since both statements hold, the options marking either as wrong are incorrect.
