Jack,

I'm reading between the lines a little, but I don't think there's much chance that this one was a virgin.

I was at a lecture this summer by one of the leading lights of the academic effort to understand suicide bombings. He had some interesting observations. I'll see if I can find my notes and will post highlights if I can. One thing I remember is how far off the typical "profile" often was. There are apparently a lot of different motivations for blowing yourself and innocent bystanders into hamburger.
