Suicide Blast Rocks Ministry in Kabul
KABUL, Afghanistan - A suspected Taliban suicide bomber shot his way into the Ministry of Information and Culture in central Kabul on Thursday, then blew himself up, leaving at least two others dead and severely damaging a kindergarten in the building, officials and witnesses said. The blast, which also wounded at least 21 people, set off a panicky scramble by parents working at the ministry to find their kindergartners, but only two appeared to be among the wounded, said Kabul's police chief, Gen. Muhammad Ayub Salangi, after he toured the scene (Source: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/31/world/asia/31afghan.html?_r=1&ref=world&oref=slogin)

Suicide
Terrorism in Sri Lanka
(PDF)
R Ramasubramanian
This study is not about suicide terrorism per
se, but is concerned with the perpetrators of
this kind of terrorism. An attempt has been made
to synthesize their psychological and
sociological motives and provide a general
assessment of suicide terrorism in Sri Lanka. It
is hoped that an examination of the extensive
body of behaviorist literature on political,
nationalistic and religious terrorism will
provide some answers to questions such as: Who
are suicide terrorists? How do individuals
become suicide bombers? How are they recruited?
Is there a terrorist mindset or are terrorist
groups too diverse to have a single mindset or
common psychological traits? Are there instead
different terrorist mindsets? Is politics more
important than a human life? Is suicide
terrorism ever successful? Can suicide terrorism
be justified? Why is suicide terrorism an
attractive choice for terror groups? What can be
some positive goals of terrorist activity? What
strategies can be used to stem the tide of
suicide attacks? |
