Abstract
Suicide attacks have clearly become the most effective modus operandi of modern insurgencies, in a sense, that, the very act of the attack is reliant upon the death of its executor. However the argument that suicide attacks is solely a religiously inspired phenomenon is completely misleading. This paper thoroughly examines the misperceptions about and motivations behind suicide attacks. It uses the multidisciplinary approach to support the argument that suicide attacks are essentially used to meet the secular and strategic goal of compelling the withdrawal of foreign military forces from illegally occupied lands.
