OPINION: Shooting a suicide bomber in the head helps to lower the odds on the ability of the suicide bomber blowing up. Unfortunately, it doesn’t completely eliminate the possibility of detonation in some cases due to other sources of technology available to jihadis.

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “A suicide bomber killed five Pakistanis during an assassination attempt on the leader a secular Pashtun political party. The bomber targeted Asfandyar Wali Khan, the chief of the Awami National Party, in his home in the settled district of Charsadda in the turbulent Northwest Frontier Province.
The attack occurred as Khan was hosting celebrations in a guesthouse next to his home for Eid-ul-Fitr, the holiday at the end of Ramadan. The suicide bomber was shot by security guards as he attempted to reach Khan.
“The suicide bomber tried to pass from the security scanner avoiding a physical search. Two security guards grabbed him but he tried to get away,” Provincial police chief Malik Naveed told Geo TV. “Then he was shot and as soon as he fell on the ground he blew himself up.””
