St-Denis female suicide bomber is not the first, and will not be the last
Using women as suicide attackers fulfils terror organisations’ aim to shock, awe, terrorise and attract attention

The news that one of the terrorists cornered in St-Denis was a woman who apparently blew herself up as police closed in will shock. However, she is far from being the first female suicide bomber.
There have been female terrorist suicide attackers for decades. They were dispatched by secular, leftist organisations in the 1980s in Lebanon, and by ethno-separatist groups such as the Kurdish PKK and the Tamil LTTE in Sri Lanka in the 1990s. A Tamil female suicide bomber assassinated the Indian prime minister, Rajiv Gandhi, in 1991.
In 2000, Chechen groups began launching suicide attacks by women. So-called “black widows†– many were indeed the wives of men who had died in the conflict with Russian forces – were involved in a series of spectacular terrorist actions. These have continued.
Between 2002 and 2005, women also took part in a wave of suicide attacks launched by Palestinian militant groups against Israeli targets.

I know the Bataclan Massacre, there was a woman involved. I have not heard more of it.
