International cooperation in the fight against terrorism, including suicide terrorism, is a sine qua non, and various international structures exist in which the cooperation can take place. Suicide terrorism has become a main strategy, not only of Islamist terrorist organizations, but of secular or nationalist organizations like the Tamil LTTE or the Kurdish PKK. The question is what differentiates or characterizes cooperation against suicide terrorism from cooperation between law enforcement and intelligence services in all other fields of terrorism. This paper will try to prove that, because suicide terrorism is a strategic weapon which can produce tremendous human losses and psychological and political consequences, the need to counter it becomes an imperative in the international cooperation between law enforcement agencies, intelligence services and the military. This cooperation includes the fields of legal measures, continuing monitoring and neutralization of the operational infrastructure used by organizers of suicide operations (recruitment, training, targeting, financing), the need to develop educational tools to prevent the proliferation of the concept of istishhad (martyrdom), the exchange of information about counter-terrorist methods and technologies developed by the individual agencies or by academic and private entities.
