The invention of dynamite in the 1860s presented revolutionary and terrorist groups in Europe with a weapon nearly twenty times more powerful than gunpowder, but with technical challenges to detonating it at the right time. One way around that obstacle was to use a human trigger, and this was the technique that assassinated Tsar Alexander II of Russia in 1881.

honestly growing up muslim... we were ALWAYS taught that suicide was ALWAYS wrong. ALWAYS. and that no matter what... if you kill yourself you will go to hell. so the whole idea of islamic suicide bombings make 0 sense to me.
