With the bombings that have occurred over time, researchers came up with the conclusion that most of these bombings are caused by adolescents. For instance, Patrick Markey asserts in a 2016 article that “Teenagers are easier to recruit for suicide missions (Markey, "Child Suicide-Bombings Increasingly Used in Militant Attacks", 2016)…” Due to this revelation many pose the question "What propels these youngsters to damage themselves as well as other people?" Well one would contend that the main thrust behind youthful suicide bombers would be the inspiration

There is no issue in this contemporary world that is more misinterpreted than that of Islam and its views on terrorism and violence. If suicide and self harm are forbidden in Islam, why do Islamic terrorists conduct and take part in suicide bombings? Fighting in a war in a way is suicide because the fighter knows that he or she may be killed. If suicide and self harm are sins in Islam, why are "jihad" and war not sins? There are many approaches that can be taken to clarify these misinterpretations and controversial questions, one of them being self-harm and suicide. The Islamic view on self-harm and suicide is important to understand because this view efficiently eliminates the stereotypes that Islam is unfortunately associated with, promotes diversity and creates religious tolerance.

Unlike their counterparts, letter and package bombs, these bombs are typically indiscriminate. Typically, they are “…loaded with explosives, parked on a busy…[and create] fear and panic by killing a large number of innocent bystanders…” (Poland, 2011, p. 181). Furthermore, using vehicles give terrorists a strategic standpoint due to them playing on an asymmetric playing field. In regards to terrorism, asymmetry is “…competing forces are out of balance….a weak force fights a much stronger power…” (White, 2012, pp. 24-25). One of the best ways to help mitigate these threats is to use physical barriers. However, the best method is for people to be diligent on suspicious vehicles and reporting

Suicide attacks have become a daily feature of the news as they have been the weapon of choice for Islamic terrorist groups like al-Qaeda and ISIS (Zedalis, 2004). The number of suicide attacks have been steadily increasing over the last decade and research has shown that over 17 different terrorist organisations have all opted for using suicide bombers, the majority being Islamic organisations (Zedalis, 2004). Suicide bombing is a strategic weapon as it has many advantages over other tactics; it’s reach covers many victims as it causes mass devastation, it is cost effective, particularly for those who are inexperienced (Stone & Pattillo, 2011). Many academics have argued al-Qaeda evolved due to previous failures like that of Myrium Goris who was a radical Islamic convert and also the first European female suicide bomber and the first to carry out a terrorist attack in Iraq (Stone & Pattillo, 2011). Myrium attempted to detonate a car bomb and subsequently, the organisations learnt that suicide vests are more reliable (Stone & Pattillo, 2011). Suicide vests require little training and so it
