WOMEN AND TERRORISM IN CHECHNYA – „BLACK WIDOWS”
Keywords:
terrorism, social and economic motives, „white widows”Abstract
In this paper, the author examine the topic of suicide terrorists as the most radical form of terrorism. On the example of suicide bombers, the reasons for resorting to terrorism were explained, as well as the most optimal ways of eliminating or at least reducing this threat.
The analyses often state that the main motives of suicide bombers are rewards in heaven or economic benefit or family’s persuasion, but we believe that this explanation is too simplistic. I will prove that the main motive is the lack of sense of purpose in life, dehumanization of man, human activities, and different cultures.
