Şiddet yanlısı devlet dışı aktörler tarafından nesiller boyunca öne çıkan intihar terörizmi, terörist gruplar, gerilla grupları ve isyancılar tarafından kullanılmaktadır. Özellikle Soğuk Savaş sonrası dönemde insan bedeni terör faaliyetinin temel objesi haline gelmiştir. İntihar bombacısı tarih boyunca çeşitli şekillerde kullanılmış olup tercih edilen seçimler saldırganların amaçlarına göre değişiklik göstermiştir. Teröristler intihar kemeri bağlayarak gidecekleri yere yürüyebilirler, farklı araçlar ya da toplu taşıma araçları kullanarak kendilerini patlatabilirler. Özellikle Ortadoğu’da işgal altındaki topraklarda hem dinlerinin hem de kendilerinin aşağılanmasından dolayı daha iyi bir yaşam sunan cennete kavuşma ihtimali, intihar bombacısı olmak isteyen birçok kişi için umut veren bir son görevdir. Adam Fosson'un araştırmasına göre Filistin'de şehit olmak isteyen bir çocuğun isteği ile Disneyland'ı ziyaret etmek isteyen Amerikalı bir çocuğun isteği neredeyse aynıdır.

THE HUMAN BODY BECOMING THE TERRORIST'S WEAPON: THE PHENOMENON OF SUICIDE TERRORISM

Öz

Suicide terrorism, which has been prominent for generations by pro-violent non-state actors, is used by terrorist groups, guerrilla groups and insurgents. Particularly in the post-Cold War period, the human body has become the main object of terrorist activity. The suicide bomber has been used in a variety of ways throughout history, the preferred choices varied according to the aims of the attackers. Suicide bombers can walk to their destination using a suicide belt, explode their own bodies using different vehicles or public transport. Especially in the occupied territories of the Middle East, the possibility of reaching a paradise that offers a better life by humiliating both their religion and themselves is the last task that gives hope for many suicide bombers. According to research by Adam Fosson, the request of a Palestinian child who wants to become a martyr is almost the same as an American child who wants to visit Disneyland.
