MOSCOW, Dec. 9 — A female suicide bomber set off explosives that detonated a car near Moscow's Red Square on Tuesday, killing five people and injuring 13, the ITAR-Tass news agency reported.

The blast took place on the capital's main shopping street, Tverskaya, near the National Hotel, which sits on a corner diagonally across from a gate leading into Red Square and the Kremlin, said Natalia Aliseyenko of the Moscow police.

Not a lot of opportunity for widows in that area, is there?

2. Since when did suicide bombing become in fashion?

Why is this happening? What are the reasons for it??? I think everyone one of us should try to find the answer.

3. A very long time ago

First world war was sort of started by 5 or 6 ill men with TB that were willing to die sooner than later to get their country into some order. And we could do a real study on this if you wanted to.To kill your self to make a point is very very old.

5. The Black Hand Gang and Princip? Is that what you're talking about?

Because I've never read that they had TB...

Besides, the assasination of Franz Ferdinand was only one of about 7 reasons that WWI happened. It was the flash that set off the pot, but certainly did not cause the war by itself.

I'll have to check on it, but, I've studied WWI to a fairly large degree and I've never run across this theory. Feel free to give me a link to something or a ISBN of a book, I'd love to read it! Seriously! Sounds interesting.
