People urged to enhance vigilance against terrorist organisation
People should stay vigilant against the “Trieu Dai Viet” (Viet Dynasty) that has been identified as a terrorist organisation by the Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security, a police officer has said.
In an interview granted to the Vietnam News Agency (VNA), Major General Bui Thanh Ha, deputy head of the ministry’s domestic security department, said people should be aware of plots, operational methods and activities of the organisation and its danger, as well as consequences of terrorist acts.
On January 5, the ministry announced that the Canada-based “Trieu dai Viet” is a terrorist organisation.
Established by former members of a terrorist organisation called “Provisional National Government of Vietnam” in January 2018, the “Trieu Dai Viet” is operating many websites and media channels.
Its leaders are Ngo Van Hoang Hung who has Canadian citizenship, Tran Thanh Dinh with German citizenship, Ngo Manh Cuong with French citizenship and Huynh Thanh Hoang with US citizenship.
The organisation operates in the forms of conducting armed rebellions, providing finance and instructing its units in Vietnam to carry out terrorist and destruction activities; and inciting people to stage demonstrations and engage in riots to overthrow the administration.
It has sent tens of thousands of USD and hundreds of millions of VND to its members in Vietnam to set up “military zones,” recruit supporters, expand activities, purchase weapons, make explosive devices, and put forth attack plans on State agencies, armed force units and public places.
In June 2018, Hung instructed a group of six people to stage an attack using TNT explosive at the police station of ward 12, Tan Binh district, Ho Chi Minh City.
According to Ha, the organisation also plotted the establishment of armed groups to conduct terrorist attacks, which, however, were swiftly prevented by security forces.
It has made use of the cyber space, particularly Youtube and Facebook, to publish video clips promoting itself and distorting the Party’s policies and guidelines, and the State’s laws, and inciting people to engage in demonstrations and disturbances.
Competent agencies have so far arrested, prosecuted and tried 17 people and put two other members of the organisation on the wanted list on the charge of “terrorism against people’s administration.”
In the announcement, the ministry said anyone who participate in the organisation, lure others to join it, sponsor and receive sponsorship from it, take part in its training courses, and follow its instructions have committed the crime of “terrorism” and “sponsoring terrorism” and will be handled pursuant to Vietnam’s law.
Terrorism is an extremely serious crime that violates the interests of the State, organisations and individuals, Ha said, suggesting the public study legal regulations on anti-terrorism, report terrorist acts and closely coordinate with competent agencies in the fight against terrorism./.

All police units must closely coordinate with military and other forces to fulfil their tasks of maintaining social safety and order.
The public security units should also step up actions against wrong and distorted allegations from hostile and reactionary forces, as well as prevent and fight psychological wars launched by such forces
Terrorists want a lot of people watching, not a lot of people dead
Trends in terrorism over the past three decades, however, have contradicted the conventional thinking that terrorists are averse to using WMD.
Increasingly, terrorist groups are recruiting members with expertise in fields such as communications, computer programming, engineering, finance, and the sciences.
The number of international terrorist incidents has declined in the 1990s, but the potential threat posed by terrorists has increased.
The increased threat level, in the form of terrorist actions aimed at achieving a larger scale of destruction than the conventional attacks
Unable to achieve their unrealistic goals by conventional means, international terrorists attempt to send an ideological or religious message by terrorizing the general public.
Through the choice of their targets, which are often symbolic or representative of the targeted nation, terrorists attempt to create a high-profile impact on the public of their targeted enemy or enemies with their act of violence, despite the limited material resources that are usually at their disposal.
Rather, we are primarily concerned in this study with the leader(s) of terrorist groups and the activists or operators who personally carry out a group's terrorism strategy. The top leaders are of particular interest because there may be significant differences between them and terrorist activists or operatives.
It is also important to keep in mind that perceptions of what constitutes terrorism will differ from country to country, as well as among various sectors of a country's population.
Terrorism usually results from multiple causal factors--not only psychological but also economic, political, religious, and sociological factors, among others.
