[QUOTE="Jones, post: 119662, member: 4805"] Well, I actually did a quick search for that database, and while I couldn't find one of all terrorist attacks (I suspect one of the reasons is that what actually constitutes a terrorist attack can sometimes be hard to quantify), I did find an interesting article that focused strictly on suicide bombings. From the article: [I][COLOR=Red]The major objective of 95 percent of suicide attacks is to expel foreign military forces from territory that the terrorists perceive as their homeland. There is little connection with Islamic fundamentalism or any of the world religions. The taproot of suicide terrorism is nationalism and it's ''mainly a response to foreign occupation.'' The objective is political self-determination. The Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka, a secular, clearly anti-religious movement, have committed 76 of the 315 suicide attacks, the most of any group. Their specific goal was an independent homeland in Sri Lanka.
