Outside View: Suicide bombing a crime 
Los Angeles (UPI) Feb 26, 2008 The time has come for the international community to strongly and unequivocally condemn suicide bombing as a tactic of war and political violence. U.N. member states, individually and collectively, must come together to clearly proscribe suicide terror in all of its forms. (John P. Sullivan is a senior research fellow at the Center for Advanced Studies on Terrorism. A career police officer, he is a lieutenant with the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department. He is also co-author of the Land Warfare Paper: "Suicide Bombings in Operation Iraqi Freedom," and co-editor of "Countering Terrorism and WMD: Creating a global counter-terrorism network" (Routledge, 2006).) |
