This is such a rare occurrence I don't think we needed a dedicated law for it. Like law 9.7, its there but used once in a blue moon and usually is covered by other laws.

If terrorism was such a problem in paralake I could back this law but the excuse that there are car-bombs and bombs all the time doesn't justify this. As far as I can personally say I haven't ever sat and complained that there's no law for terrorism as its already covered by section 9 and section 7.

i reckon a harsher punishment for car bomb's wouldnt be a bad thing

There are already punishments that are harsh enough, if it doesn't hurt people then why should they be punished for it? This law just looks like a law that you want because the 6 years for detonation and 8 years for it harming someone isn't enough?

The cases where bombs go off, if no-one is hurt or killed then I feel bad for the person with the bomb. They shouldn't be punished as harshly. That's like charging someone for attempted murder for 10years 10k because they had the intent to kill someone.

It is a pointless addition to the penal code when its already covered. Punishments are enough. If there weren't laws already in place to combat this I would agree but unfortunately, there is.

Bomb threats are already in violation of 7.2, 9.3, 6.7, and 11.1 as is.
