On 12 March 2007, the IISS held a joint workshop in collaboration with the Fletcher School’s Jebsen Center for Counter-Terrorism Studies, on “Female Suicide Bombing and Europe”. The event drew some of the most influential scholars of suicide terrorism in the world today, to discuss the growth of the phenomenon and possible European responses, with a particular focus on gender issues. The workshop forms one part of the IISS’s broader commitment to improve the understanding of terrorism in general and its most recent manifestation, suicide bombing, in particular.
