TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - Evolution of the Global Jihad: Female Suicide Bombers in Iraq JO - Studies in conflict and terrorism A1 - Davis, J. SP - 279 EP - 291 VL - 36 IS - 4 N2 - Female suicide bombers are increasingly seen in conflicts throughout the world; in recent years, they have become much more prevalent in religious-fundamentalist conflict. Specifically, global jihadist groups are increasingly incorporating female suicide bombers into their operations, a significant ideological and operational shift for most of these groups. Jihadist groups are using women to fill a recruiting void, to achieve tactical surprise, and for strategic purposes. Female suicide bombers are likely to emerge in jihadist conflicts throughout the world, from Nigeria to Pakistan and beyond. © 2013 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
