Kidnappings. Suicide bombers. Beheadings. Roadside bombs. The Iraqi insurgency continues to challenge the most highly trained and best-equipped military in the world. FRONTLINE peels back the layers and gets beyond the propaganda to take a complex look inside the multi-faceted insurgency in Iraq. The investigation includes special access to insurgent leaders, as well as commanders of Iraqi and U.S. military units battling for control of the country and detailed analysis from journalists who have risked their lives to meet insurgent leaders and their foot soldiers. On February 21, FRONTLINE explores the battle for one Iraqi town and presents vivid testimony from civilians whose families were targeted by the insurgents.

It is one of the most powerful weapons in the world. Cheap, efficient, and highly effective, suicide bombing has played a significant role in terrorist activity for decades. What are the common characteristics found among suicide bombers, and why would anyone choose to end their life in such a violent and destructive way? In this chilling examination of the psychology behind suicide bombing, THE HISTORY CHANNEL® attempts to answer these, and many other complex questions. From Japanese kamikaze pilots during World War II to the more recent Palestinian bombers in Israel, experts reveal that suicide terrorism is not a personal phenomenon, but one that almost inevitably gestates in a group environment. Interviews with an Israeli Army senior intelligence analyst, a kamikaze pilot survivor, two failed suicide bombers, and several victims provide a frightening glimpse INSIDE THE MIND OF A SUICIDE BOMBER.
