“The federal government prefers negotiation and this is not working. The only thing they (terrorists) fear is war.
“If you negotiate with them, they will not surrender their guns. They will leave their boys behind to continue terrorizing innocent people. So the government should review its strategy and launch a full-fledged war on them,” he said.
