OPINION: Cells these day seem to run about 3-5 people, but suiciders come in 1 lone individual or a 2 person team.
Good point. I guess the have to let the main planners survive, to go on to the next assignment.
Which brings us once again to the Norman bombing.
You know, something just occurred to me (and I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this), could those suicide bombers with "suitcases" be carrying those Russian N-suitcases? That's a scary thought.
