Document Summary
A strategic form of terrorism where the attacker themselves become the mechanism for destruction, they become the tool. To define suicide terrorism you have to look at the phenomenon of terrorism. Because it is a political term in a sense, origins have been utilized for political purposes and yet we criminalize it which depoliticizes the act. One man"s terrorist is another man"s freedom fighter . Strong idea by those targeted by terrorism as innocent civilians. Terrorist acts seem to be a way of sending a message to the public, and generating fear. The un has a lack of a position. Might lead to some acts criminalized which they don"t want criminalized like states could be criminalized. There was more of a connection between terrorism and national identity rather than terrorism and religious identity, so the goal is actually nationalism not religious motivation. Tamil tigers in sri lanka sought independence from sri lanka, not.
