Suicide Attacks

This analysis examines notable suicide attacks, including the assassination of Indian PM Rajiv Gandhi in 1991 by LTTE operative Dhanu, the US embassy bombings in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania in 1998, and the London bombings on July 7, 2005. Utilizing insights from John Wigle's research in "Perspectives on Terrorism," we explore patterns, casualties, and motivations behind these attacks, such as martyrdom, revenge, and precision targeting. The paper discusses the Worldwide Incidents Tracking System (WITS) and its role in understanding global terrorism.
