Abstract:This essay examines the similarities and difference between terrrorist attacks on the public (particularly suicide attacks) and non-ideological 'rampage' killings. It notes the frequent importance of an overwhelming sense of humiliation in both categories of perpetrator, and discusses the interweaving of personal rage with political ideology in cases of extremist violence. The implications of this analysis for counter-terrorist strategy are noted.
