Suicide bombing is the action of taking oneself's own life along with endangering the lives of others using an explosive device. Generally, these individuals are members of fanatic organizations trying to spread their religion by killing others, believing that they will receive complete salvation. This is a common Militant Islamist practice, and organizations such as Al-Qaeda and The Islamic State frequently carry out suicide bombings.
However, the practice is not exclusive to religious terrorism, nor are people always the primary targets. For example, in 2020 Anthony Warner committed a suicide RV bombing against an AT&T telephone exchange.
