Direction: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow:

Paragraph 1: It is difficult to recognise the new generation of terrorists as a mere extension of the earlier lot of radical Islamist terrorists who were influenced by the teachings of Islamist preachers and theologians. There is less theology today and the new age terrorist seems to belong to an altogether different genre of terrorism.

Paragraph 2: A large number of terror attacks in the past three years have been attributed to the handiwork of the Islamic State (IS), and reveal its leaning towards the “nihilism” of Sayyid Qutb. It is this which distinguishes the IS from many of the other radical Islamist groups such as al-Qaeda and its affiliates. The IS’s recruitment techniques, especially its ability to proselytise over the Internet, including “direct to home jihad” as also its more sanguinary brand of violence, set it apart from earlier variants of radical Islamist terror.

Paragraph 3: Even while the IS has gained a great deal of prominence due to its brand of violence, other terror networks have continued to be no less active. For example, Al-Qaeda and its affiliates. Boko Haram in Africa has been responsible for more killings than most people would realise. Closer home, the Afghan Taliban and the Haqqani network have carried out several spectacular attacks inside Afghanistan. The Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi have carried out several attacks inside Pakistan. Pakistan provides the wherewithal and the support to terror outfits such as the Lashkar-e-Taiba and the Jaish-e-Mohammad to launch well-planned attacks on Indian targets.

Paragraph 4: Most of these outfits continue to adopt earlier methodologies. These have proved no less effective than those followed by the IS. The terror attack on a mosque in North Sinai, Egypt in November this year, which killed over 230 persons, is one such example. In December, the TTP was responsible for a terror attack on an agricultural training institute in Peshawar, Pakistan. Differences among terror outfits do not, however, preclude a complicated pattern of relationships when it comes to operational aspects.

Q. As per paragraph 4, which of the following is true with respect to earlier methodologies adopted by terror outfits?

I. Such methods are no longer followed.
II. Such methods are as effective as the newer ones.
III. Such methods are followed by upcoming groups in various countries
