The Need
The September 11th attacks were horrific in terms of the loss of human life and financial damage inflicted, yet they were not the worst-case scenario that many security experts believe could befall us in future, either in terms of the numbers of casualties or specifically in the use of Chemical, Biological or Radiological weapons. With the formation of extensive global terrorist infrastructures and the increased reach of fundamentalist terrorist groups, the spectre of Suicide Terrorism now threatens Europe and North America. The risk of suicide attacks on British shores escalated dramatically in May 2003 when two UK nationals travelled to Israel to launch suicide bombings in support of the Palestinian cause.
Modern suicide bombing was introduced by the Shi’ite terrorist organisation Hizballah in 1983 in Lebanon, and it was in Lebanon that this modus operandi was refined throughout the 1980’s. There have now been well over 300 suicide attacks carried out in 14 countries by 17 terrorist organisations. Suicide attacks, like all other terrorist attacks, are first and foremost aimed at giving their perpetrators widespread media coverage. The choice of this type of attack also emanates from the fact that it is easily put into practice and materially inexpensive to execute, requiring no sophisticated weaponry; while at the same time being very damaging to public morale. A determined suicide terrorist is often able to get closer to a target than other delivery methods could and can make last-minute tactical decisions - like walking toward crowds or pausing before they detonate until more potential victims gather - that render their attacks more effective and more deadly.
In light of the July 2005 attacks in London - their is a raised awareness of the threat of attacks on other 'soft' targets, shopping centres, theatres, sports stadiums and so on.
