There are areas which are porous and, therefore, penetration is very easy. This is also added to the fact that it is very easy for some of these people to come in and blend with our people in the country very easily and recruit from our territory. So, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want hon. Members to know that we are not immune to this. If that was the case, the attack on the World Trade Centre in New York"
