An Analysis of Suicide Attacks: Chechen Suicide Actions

Summary/Abstract: Suicide attacks are widely applied terror method all around the world primarily in the war and conflict zones. Russian Federation, where Chechen Independence Struggle happens for years, is one of the countries in which this method is applied. This study aims to contribute to Turkish literature with regard to suicide attacks and Chechen suicide bombers. In previous studies, it is understood that there is limited Turkish research on suicide attacks. Furthermore, there has been no academic research in Turkish about suicide bomb attacks erupting in Russia conducted by Chechens. For these reasons, this research will contribute to Turkish literature. “Why people become suicide bomber” is the central question in this research. Then, the suicide attacks perpetrated by Chechens and the factors behind it will causally be examined and explained. Therefore, how the concepts in the literature overlap and diverge from the Chechen case in the conceptual framework will be surfaced.
