Security will be the most important issue the new government faces in its complicated mission because it is connected with the daily killing of innocent people. (Stopping) car bombs needs to be the top priority because they kill dozens of people every day and the traffic police do not take any active measures to reduce their numbers. The country is left open to terrorists whose hobby it is to kill people. The first thing the traffic police should do is to change (vehicle) registration plates with the new plates, which are significantly different from the older ones in shape, colour and size. The new plates should not be easily forged. Another step is that the traffic police should issue traffic laws that specially facilitate solving crimes. Those whose cars are stolen need to be able to report the theft to the authorities within two hours. Cars should be purchased through official offices so that used cars are not sold to terrorists. It is time to stop the car bomb games that have killed people for three years. Applying what is mentioned above is part of the solution that may help to eliminate this deadly phenomenon.
