Abstract

The scientific reasons behind the psychology of the people who accept to be suicide bombers are discussed. Events such as World Trade Center has contradicted the popular belief that these bombers are from the poorer section of the society. Most of the bombers are either from middle or upper section of the society. It is pointed out that a friendship bond among the terrorists plays an important role in infusing the psychological mentality among the suicide bombers.
