Data show suicide bombers young, well educated



Since 1993, 303 suicide bombers have launched themselves against Israeli targets. Of that total, 242, or 80 percent, have come since September 2000, according to data released this week by security sources.

Of the total launched, 167, or 55 percent, completed their efforts to kill themselves and others. In the first seven years of suicide bombing, 70 percent of attempts were successful. Since September 2000, despite a far higher rate of attack, only 51 percent have succeeded.

The vast majority of suicide bombers since 2000 were single (87 percent), and young (76 percent between 17-23).

A total of 38 percent of the 2000-2003 suicide bombers had university educations, and 47 percent had high school educations. In comparison, only 5.3 percent of the Palestinian population aged 19 and above was enrolled in vocational education, community colleges or universities in 2000, according to the United Nations Development Program.

Here are the data:
