Why Do Suicide Bombers Exists?

Why Do Suicide Bombers Exist? Suicide bombing is believed to be one of the ultimate acts of terrorism. It is horrific in its results, and the act of bombing itself does not choose who it kills. It kills all, adults, man and woman, children, and the saddest thing is that it kills the innocent. The propagation of suicide bombing nowadays has been increasing, especially in the Arab world where it seems that peace will not reign there for years or so. That area of the world has been a battleground of ideas, arms, and ideologies alike.
