Secondly, general information about the daily activities of children involved in acts of terror seems normal. Thirdly, the answer why should children be included be involved in suicide bombing by their parents is still mystery.This study reinforces the concept of Paul Gill (2007) about the importance of a multi-dimensional approach to analyzing suicide bombings.
