AlterNet: ForeignPolicy: The Hard Truth About Suicide Bombers
A very balanced and informative article about ’suicide bombers’. An interesting keyword phrase in the article or ‘audit’ is ‘bomber’s will”. I never thought about if they wrote wills before thier gastly act. But I guess they do. It would be interesting to read one. To see how exactly they justify themselves.

Now that was a very interesting article - and the result of the report published yesterday on the London bombers which couldn’t find any strong links with Al Queda would seem to confirm what Nichole Argo is saying. Must get her book when it comes out.
I have just finished reading Yasmina Khadra’s book about a police Inspector (Llob) in Algiers who battles against terrorists and murderers in a very colourful way, and what better way to learn about everyday life in Algeria than via someone’s blog?

Welcome, ByronB! I haven’t had the opportunity to read the book you’ve mentioned. I have heard, though, about people being wisked away in the night who are suspected in dealings with ’secret groups’. I suppose that is one method of thwarting terrorism in your own country. I was told the president had a brother who dissappeared this way and even he doesn’t know where he went or is today.
