I liked this part of the article "... it’s fair to say that the Taliban employ the world’s worst suicide bombers: one in two manages to kill only himself. And this success rate hasn’t improved at all in the five years they’ve been using suicide bombers, despite the experience of hundreds of attacks—or attempted attacks. "
It's hard to find suicide bombers with a good resume of successful attacks.
- gaius 16y agoYeah, but you don't just wake up one morning, strap on a bomb and go. Rather you spend a few weeks or months at a jihad training camp in the mountains first, and then get sent off to blow yourself and maybe some infidels up. So there will be suicide bomber training mullahs who have a track record of training martyrs to be effective suicide bombers, and those whose graduates more often than not fail.
