Suicide Bombing - Terrorist Ideological Weaponry
Ideological Weaponry is relatively new type of arms added to the arsenal of modern warfare. It differs from means used in psychological warfare in principle. Although, both aimed at destroying enemy's will to resist. Ideological Weaponry became possible as a direct result of latest developments in modern technology, military and civil. Depending on a type of utilized technology, Ideological Weaponry could be either conventional or unconventional. Both types could be effectively utilized in terrorist siege warfare.
(Read more...)In general, terrorist Ideological Weaponry combines two parts: human and technological. The human part is what one could call a “smart fuse” - ideologically charged combatant intended to sacrifice own life for a sake of destroying an enemy. The technological part is “ammo” - any type of explosives often combined with different means of transportation - motorcycles, cars, trucks, boats, airplanes, and etc.- utilized by combatants to annihilate an enemy for a price of own life.
Conventional type of Ideological Weaponry had been widely used on battlefields of World War II. Spontaneous suicide attacks commonly performed by Soviet soldiers going with grenades against Nazi tanks, suicide pilots-kamikazes, the kaiten - human torpedoes modified as a suicide weapon, and used by the Imperial Japanese Navy in the final stages of the Second World War deliberately attacking the U.S. Navy are both clear examples of using conventional Ideological Weaponry.
Unconventional type of Ideological Weaponry also consists of a human part - “smart fuse” - ideologically charged combatant intended to sacrifice own life to destroy an enemy. The difference is in a content of technological part - “ammo”. In unconventional Ideological Weaponry “ammo” is any type of Weapons of Mass Destruction - nuclear, biological, chemical. Due to inevitable sacrifice of a combatant, all current types of Ideological Weaponry could be qualified as disposable arms.

(Read more...) No wander, that ideologically charged suicide bombings have been widely adapted by Islamic jihadists, and became the main means of strategy and operation in terrorists’ “life or death” fight against the Nation.
