The means through which countries can curb the spread of terrorism are: intelligence gathering; political and economic stability; improved security measures; citizen reorientation with emphasis on curtailing all forms of religious bigotry, zealotry, fundamentalism/extremism, and collective security systems in combating terrorism.
