The Cult of the Suicide Bomber7

The world's first suicide bomber, 13 year old Hossein Fahmideh. New DVD explores the history and mystery of suicide bombing. Their devastating and deadly actions punctuate the world news almost nightly, yet they remain faceless figures amidst the violence and turmoil that engulf the Middle East. And, whether it's the C4-laden martyrs of Hezbollah or the car bombing insurgents of Iraq, what could possibly compel a suicide bomber to voluntarily take their own lives, along with those of hundreds of innocent victims? There is perhaps no one better equipped to investigate this terrifying practice than Robert Baer, a decorated, former Middle East CIA Agent and the man George Clooney's character was based on in the Academy Award®-winning film, Syriana.

In the groundbreaking and acclaimed documentary, THE CULT OF THE SUICIDE BOMBER, Baer returns to his former center of operations to trace the origins of the modern day bomber from the Iran-Iraq war to the Middle Eastern streets of today.

THE CULT OF THE SUICIDE BOMBER reveals the secret history of the suicide bomber, from the child martyrs of the Iran-Iraq war, the truck bombers in southern Lebanon, to the young men and women who now strap explosives to their bodies and calmly blow themselves up in crowded streets and markets across the Middle East.

Baer also reveals the fascinating story of the world's first suicide bomber, 13-year-old Hossein Fahmideh -- who was martyred in the Iran-Iraq war and is now a hero in Iran.

I dare anyone to walk through that cemetery at midnight - especially dare the mullahs and imans - where the spirits are out for vengeance for their souls are in the deepest pits of Hell (Paradise) and in terrible agony.

Why don't you copy the whole film instead of editing to make your point???????

@oldsmobile1982 I was trying to reply to the message in this video via your comment, not against you. Then again, a person with "oldsmobile" would be best suited so eliminate himself by suicide bombing himself alone in a dark corner.

@oldsmobile1982 How was he the world's first suicide bomber? What about Japanese who purposely crashed their planes into US ships, or the ones that pulled a grenade and surrendered and blew themselves up and other US troops during WW2?

I can't believe this entire documentary didn't mention the Tamil Tigers! They had 300-600 suicide bombings. One female suicide bomber killed the PM of India Rajiv Gandhi, the other the PM of Sri Lanka, another the Central Bank of Sri Lanka. They perfected the suicide bombing tactic.

What a bias video, this leaves the producer of this documentary ignorant to an unparalleled level.
