Genesis of Suicide Terrorism
Scott Atran
Science Mar 7 2003: 1534-1539

Contemporary suicide terrorists from the Middle East are publicly deemed crazed
cowards bent on senseless destruction who thrive in poverty and ignorance.
Recent research indicates they have no appreciable psychopathology and are as
educated and economically well-off as surrounding populations. A first line of
defense is to get the communities from which suicide attackers stem to stop the
attacks by learning how to minimize the receptivity of mostly ordinary people
to recruiting organizations.
