One question uppermost in many minds since last week is whether Brexit will have an impact on the fight against terror. This has taken the form of enlarged and up-to-date watch lists shared with many nations affected badly by terror. The question that is repeated again is whether such arrangements can help to thwart the lone wolf who is becoming more and more the rule rather than an exception. But then, the country will have to contend with a possible disruption of international law enforcement networks and its effect on counterterrorism. In this context, one cannot ignore how Hafiz Saeed, the Jamaat-ud-Dawa chief and mastermind of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, has reacted to Brexit.
