A suicide attack is when someone intentionally kills themselves while trying to harm or kill other people. This usually happens when somebody straps explosives to their body and then gets close to a group of people and detonates them. The person who carries out the attack is usually trying to hurt or punish their enemies by doing something that causes a lot of destruction. The person doing this attack is usually looking for attention and wants to make a statement about things they don't like or have a different view from the people they are attacking.
