Abstract

Comments on persuading well-adjusted, well-educated, and well-off people to carry out a suicide attack by becoming a suicide bombers are discussed. Study has shown that suicide terrorists are better off than average community and better educated and they don't have to be Islamic extremists either. Merrai and others, who have studied suicide attacks across world have found this pattern from kamikaze pilots to the 9/11 hijakers. The immidiate reaction to suicide bombers is to label them as animals, or inherently evil.
