DESCRIPTION:A Meet the Author Event\n\nWho: Mohammed Hafez, Visiting Professor of 
 Political Science, University of Missouri, Kansas City\n\nEvent: Suicide 
 bombers continue to kill in Baghdad to deliver the message that the surge 
 will not bring victory for the U.S. and stability for Iraqis. The attacks 
 have a disproportionate impact on political developments in Iraq because of 
 their targets, lethality, and psychological potency. According to Mohammed 
 Hafez’s new book Suicide Bombers in Iraq, the rate of suicide attacks in 
 the Iraqi insurgency has surpassed the number of suicide operations by all 
 previous insurgent groups combined, including those by Hezbollah in 
 Lebanon, Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka, and Hamas in Israel. Delving deep into 
 the Iraq insurgency, Dr. Hafez will join the Council to examine the history 
 of suicide bombing in Iraq and across the globe, theoretical perspectives 
 on suicide bombing, the varied factions that comprise the Iraq insurgency, 
 the ideology and theology of martyrdom supporting suicide bombers, their 
 national origins and characteristics, and the prospect for a “third 
 generation” of transnational bombers forged in Iraq.\n\nWhen: Tuesday, 
 March 25; Registration: 5:30pm; Program: 6pm\nAdmission Costs: Council 
 Members: FREE; Students: $5; Nonmembers: $15 \n\n\n
