Abstract

One of the biggest challenges in the XXI century is the struggle against terrorism.
Terrorism is designed to cause fear, panic, and publicity among the masses in order to
achieve its goals. The emergence of suicide terrorism is characteristic for terrorist attacks
in the early XXI century. If you take the large number of terrorist attacks carried out by
suicide bombers, massive human casualties, and material damage, it is clear that suicide
terrorism in one of the biggest threats for national security of countries. Suicide terrorism
escalates in many fields in which war activities were taken or in the countries with weak
political government. However, the last terrorist attacks in France and Belgium show that
terrorist organizations are ready to use suicide terrorism as an efficient tool to achieve their
geopolitical and economic aims.
In this paper, the main hypothesis is based on the fact that suicide terrorism, as a global
phenomenon causing great number of human casualties, in the absence of a strategy for its
neutralization in modern democratic states, is an essential tool for achieving the objectives
of global religious militant organizations.
