A report from The American Council for Peace in Chechnya


"...ACPC is releasing this comprehensive study on suicide bombings associated with the war in Chechnya. As the author has noted, suicide bombers are typically not motivated by ideology, but more often by a desire for revenge and retribution in the vicious cycle of violence created by the Kremlin's five year war in Chechnya. Though this study was prepared prior to the terrorist acts in North Ossetia, we hope that it will provide much-needed background on understanding the aims and motivations of suicide bombers in Chechnya."
