Forget caves and mountains; the masterminds behind 9/11 weren’t hiding in deserts. Osama bin Laden? Killed in a fancy compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed? Found chilling in a regular house. Ramzi Binalshibh? Living in a city, not a jungle. India’s ambassador at the UN, Parvathaneni Harish, didn’t mince words. He called them ‘monsters of humankind’; and said they thrived not because they were invisible, but because someone gave them safe space. The real kicker? The same places that sheltered 9/11 planners are still hosting terror groups like LeT and JeM; under new names, with old backing. And while this is happening, over 3 million Afghans are being pushed out; forced back into a country with no jobs, no safety, no future. The world’s silent. India’s not. Sometimes the most dangerous threats aren’t hiding in shadows; they’re living in plain sight, with permission.
