Post-9/11 Terror: Understanding the Suicide Bomber Phenomenon | Java Documentary

Former CIA agent and terrorism expert Robert Baer tracks the history of suicide bombers from their origin in the Iran-Iraq war to their growing predominance in the post-9/11 world. On the 7th July 2005, London was the first European city to face a new form of terror, the home-grown suicide bomber. In a series of attacks, four suicide bombers, all British citizens killed 52 people. For the British, the bombers came from nowhere. But suicide bombing is not new... With extraordinary footage of actual suicide bomb attacks, and riveting interviews with failed suicide bombers and their families, ‘The Cult of the Suicide Bomber’ is the definitive documentary history of the rise of an enemy against whom there is no real defence. This film was first released in 2005. --- SUBSCRIBE for more amazing stories, including free FULL documentaries.
