You don't stop terrorist attacks by attacking the terrorist during the attack because generally he is well into it by the time the act is recognized and halted. Even if you manage to thwart an act you simply give the terrorists better information on how to attack you next time. You stop terrorist attacks through good intelligence and analysis and by controlling access, and even then it is not so much a stopping as often just a relocating, such as human bombs going off at the checkpoint instead of at the marketplace.
