Description: Female terrorists fight as suicide bombers, assassins, and guerillas. They carry communications and money between terrorist cells and are asserting themselves as strategic thinkers within terrorist organizations. They are essential to the psychosocial promotion of the terrorist ethos as recruiters and nurturers of male terrorists and, as widows and orphans, they serve as galvanizing symbols for terrorist movements.
