17 Revealing Facts About Suicide Bombers And Suicide Bombing

There is no country that faces constant threat of terrorism that doesn't wish to see its end. I mean, the end of terrorism. Every nation that is battling with suicide bombers will do anything, give anything to experience some sort of peace. Imagine a world, a society without suicide bombers or terrorists!(I think it exists only on print.) What was the world like before terrorism...suicide bombing? 

In a previous article about what motivates suicide bombers to go suicide bombing, it dawned on me that we need to know to an extent what happens just before a  suicide bomber presses that bomb-plunger.

This article will be updated frequently to add to the list. Its a little attempt to piecing together some interesting facts and information about suicide bombers and their organizations. It might beat your imagination  but they are facts.

1. Since the 1980s most suicide bombers who complete their mission were secular.
