suicide bombings  

Definition

  • Suicide bombings are not new; indeed, there is evidence that they have occurred in one form or another for the last 300 years. For instance, during World War II, Japanese kamikaze pilots deliberately flew their planes, loaded with explosives, into Allied military ships.
