A harassed inner monologue and a hasty line of thoughts in a female terrorist’s mind the minutes before she makes her misdeed. The thoughts belongs to an individual, who feels destined to something higher; who again and again asks herself if her action is suicide or a heroic act, who’s whirled round in utopian fantasies. Sajko describes the lunacy of an angel of death and analyses why women are the most wanted recruits as suicide bombers. The text is partly based on newspaper articles, science and contributions from international counter terror agencies.
