Suicide bombings, a subset of general terrorism, modus operandi provide an advantage to the perpetrators. A militant who intends to detonate the explosives at a particular target is the ultimate smart bomb, aiming to kill both him/herself and destroy the target to send the terrorist's message. This paper analyzes the uncompleted suicide attacks from the original interview statements of perpetrators along with an up-dated analysis of completed suicide attacks committed in Turkey between 1996 and 2005. This research answers questions about suicide bombings in areas where police and researchers have very limited information: What are the known characteristics of suicide bombers across time in Turkey? What additional characteristics exist for unsuccessful suicide bombers?
