Terrorist acts resume in Shkodër TNT blows up the house of the Prefect of Shkodër SHKODER—Shpuza: This terrorist act once again shows that we must build the state. And the state cannot be built when the police associate with society’s scum, when the police include members of those gangs who pull hoods over their heads at night. Naturally, I do not want to prejudge those young men, those wonderful young men in the Shkodër police. But I want to say that it is well known that terrorist acts occur and that there are people inclined to commit them. But who is supposed to prevent them? There must be the utmost preparedness on the part of the police—not merely for an incident involving me, because it could have happened to anyone and has happened to others too; I am not the first whose home has been damaged—but such terrorist acts, which also have political inspiration and are carried out by organized gangs, must be dealt with by the state, under the law, as soon as possible.
