Summary/Abstract: Although traditionally it was believed that this is the problem of Middle East and South Asia regions, the danger and threat of suicide terrorism have been spreading all over the world. It is very difficult for the international community to find the way out from the “blind alley” it has been wondering about for such a long time crucified between the recognition that this type of terrorists’ acts has acquired the form of epidemic and the reactions which, frankly, do not yield any (or very bad) results, therefore falling into depression and frustration due to accumulating challenges, not able (and not ready) to face them in an adequate manner. Although they claim that they launched the resolute campaign against this form of terrorism, it is obvious that the suicide terrorists have survived it. The range of potential targets has widened, the number of casualties increased, the imagination in designing the methods of the execution of these operations multiplied, but the strategies and tactics for prevention and fighting against this huge problem do not appear to represent an obstacle for further progressing of this dramatic phenomenon. On the contrary, it seems as if the world “rewards its rebellious children”.
