Abstract
Terrorism got its ugliest and deadliest face as suicide bombing since 9/11. The lawenforcement agencies throughout the world were constrained to redefine their role and modify their structures to respond to the new phase of this violent organized crime. The academics are searching to locate the underlying reasons for this and also find the solutions and policy choices how to respond to it. However, most of the researches on terrorism in the western world lack proximal observation and understanding of ground realities. The researchers close to the scene of terrorism, on the other hand, lack resources, skills and peace of mind. So, a persistent gap of understanding exists on both sides. This paper explains the urgent need for a proper, analytical, comprehensive and valid research on the rapidly growing and aggravating problem of human bombing in the context of Pakistan, which is not only a serious crime, but also has strong ideological messages for others.
