'Tamil Tigers got the ball rolling on suicide bombing. '

My understanding is this is sort of true, looking at the modern era which began less than 150 years ago. However, my understanding is that during the Muslim conquest, suicide squads were routinely deployed during major battles as part of the standard array of Muslim military tactics. Am I off on this?
