What happens to the bodies of suicide bombers?

[venator]

Spin off from Bibblebub's posting -

Are they given religious funerals?
Are the bodies sent home so celebrations can be held?
Who pays?

In the interest of health and safety the "heid" to be boiled is not ones own but that of the sheep one is using to make soup.
Step away from the cauldron venator! :)

I haven't got a sheep, douglas

The closest you will get to the real thing.From a very good film.Now you tell me where the body ends up ?

[Hopkirk]

I don't think it is genuine.

[Teddy_boy]

Really hopkirk ?Pmsl, i thought that was obvious.

I think the answer must lie in practical issues - what means the relatives have to recover the fragments and what means they have to organise a funeral and / or transport the deceased to another country for burial. In Israel, strict Jewish medics search for every timey particle of a Jewish victim, to bring these together for burial. As the bomber is likely to be Palestinian, the relatives are much less likely to be given permission and time to do such a search, let alone leeway to transport the remains back to Palestinian areas, so unless parts are kept for identication then I guess the big bits are hygienically buried or cremated and the smaller bits hosed away.

If you take the matter of eg bombers in Pakistani mosques, the hatred of the bomber and their kin in the immediate locality is surely going to result in a similar train of events.

Weren't the remains of the London bombers returned to their families in the north for burial?

[Teddy_boy]

What did they use Sandyroe?A Dyson?

[Hopkirk]

I would just hose them down the nearest drain

[Teddy_boy]

This is nonsense post really.The suicide bombers bodies would be vaporised hence no body.Its not rocket science.Is it ?

[Hopkirk]

Not necessarily Teddy.

It would depend on the quality and amount of the explosive.

[Teddy_boy]

So youre now talking about the successful suicide bomber as opposed to the unsuccessful one?Can you be classed as a suicide bomber if you only blow your arm off?Or arent you just suicidal?I stand by what i said its nonsense.

[Hopkirk]

No you are taliking nonsense. An unsuccessful suicidebomber would walk away.

The body of one who dies might be blown to smithereens, slightly mutilated or anything in beteween.

[Teddy_boy]

I am not.How do you rate the success of a suicide bombing?I think youre being a bit simplistic on this.

[Hopkirk]

.... and you're not?

[boxtops]

A successful suicide bomber commits suicide, by definition.

[Teddy_boy]

Exactly boxtops.This is a nonsense thread now taken to greater extremes of nonsense than i believed possible.
