Terror organizations use women as suicide bomber in order to reach their goals with the easist and cheapest way. Contray to popular belief, anger, revenge and rape which are individual motivations, are not reasons for women to join terror organizations. Women decide t join organizations to have freedom in public and for nayional reasons. In a word for women organizational motivations have foreground place and supported by individual motivations. In world Tamil Tigers were the example of that type of ethnic terror organization which used women as suicide bomber and motive them with national goals.
