Abstract
Bloom explained that suicide terrorism is distinct from terrorism,
more generally. She suggested that suicide terrorism constitutes
a “second iteration tactic” to accomplish the goals of terrorism;
that it is always used in conjunction with other tactics, but that it
is usually the more successful variant; that there are individual
and organizational motivations for suicide bombings, and these
are distinct; that it is directed toward multiple audiences; and
that the phenomenon is spreading across the Middle East region.
