Sleeper Cell is a group of people who are linked to terrorist organizations. But these people are non-traceable and undoubtful as they stay being the part of the society. They act like any other normal citizen. They work, go to school-college-office but their main motive remains to wait for the right time and attack for a mass scare.
How Does the Sleeper Cell Work?
A person involved in Sleeper Cell remains inactive for a long time. They live a normal life, follow a safe routine until next order. But once they get an order, they immediately get active and involve in terrorist activities. This may include explosions, assassinations, information theft, or other covert plans. The biggest factor helping the sleeper cells is their secrecy. These people hide their true identity, making it very difficult for security agencies to identify them. Their job is to gather intelligence, provide local support, or prepare the ground for further plans.
What are the measures to prevent the threat?
Security agencies have to be extremely vigilant. Along with their efforts, awareness of the general public, intelligence networks, and modern technology have helped expose some sleeper cells. It is also necessary for citizens to immediately inform the police or security agencies if they notice suspicious movements. In short, sleeper cells are an unknown, but very dangerous entity in society. It is the need of the hour for all of us to be alert and vigilant to prevent the dangers posed by them.
