He joined Army after his high school opposing his parents. Then Army put him through colleges as he became a psychiatrist doctor.

Ironically, he consulted many military personal who came back from war in Afghanistan. Many people think Major Nidal committed the shoot out due to stress of watching his fellow Muslims killed in war as well as he might have got many stories, or hate stories by his patients coming back from Afghanistan.

This is a serious incident worth taking a note, at a time when USA in midst of bloody war on terror against Taliban, Al Qaida, all Muslim terrorist organisations. Many think, Major Nidal committed this act due to fear of posting in war front. But real truth may be otherwise too.

Most probably, if Major Nidal was not a Muslim, this incident would have passed as a stress related incidence. But Major Nidal being single and Muslim have made the news an international headlines.

Here is the complete news :

Recently, suicide bombing has become quite a regular news. Previously, suicide bombing was widely used by LTTE in Sri Lanka. But after LTTE demise recently, and before that too, suicide bombing was put to good use by Al Qaida terrorists.

Suicide bombings in Iraq, Afghanistan is almost regular and routinely executed by Al Qaida terrorists or its associates. Recently two suicide attacks took place, one in luxury hotels in Indonesia and the other in Afganistan.

Here is the news about Afghanistan suicide bombing attack :

KHOST(Afghanistan): Taliban suicide bombers, most of them disguised in burkas, tried to storm government buildings and a military base in two Afghan cities on Tuesday, killing six people, officials said.
The attacks in Gardez and Jalalabad came amid a surge in violence ahead of presidential and provincial elections on August 20, when President Hamid Karzai will stand for re-election despite criticisms about security and corruption. Source.

Here is the news of the other suicide bombing:

·Two blasts rocked two hotels in Jakarta Friday morning, killing 9, wounding 55 others.
·”After investigation…, it has been known two perpetrators of the suicide bombings.”
·Indonesian president told the press that the blasts were an act of terrorism.

JAKARTA, July 17 (Xinhua) — Indonesian national Police chief General Bambang Hendarso Danuri said that nine people were killed and 55 others were wounded by suicide bombings as two luxurious hotels, Ritz Carlton and JW Marriot, were hit Friday morning. Source.

Actually, these two are not the biggest suicide bombing in the world. The biggest suicide bombing took place on 11 September 2001, where Al Qaida terrorists got them selves trained as pilot in USA, then hijacked few planes and hit word trade center twin towers in New York. It changed the world and started USA famous war on terror. It changed USA too. Now no body is as secure as it used to be before 9/11.

Few successful suicide bombings are :
1. Killing of Rajiv Gandhi, former Indian Prime Minister by LTTE.
2. Killing of Benjir Bhutto, former Pakistani Prime Minister, by Taliban suicide bombers.
3. Killing more than 200 people in bali bombing
4. London Bombing by radicalised British Muslims

Actually, the list is very long. Suicide bombing is the deadliest feature of modern day terrorism.

Afghanistan is a very, very strange country. It has long history of war. Right from Chengij Khan and till recently the American. The country, Afghanistan, has been a battle field for everyone. Just to list few famous great warriors who have come to Afghanistan and fought wars:-

1. Alexander The great : He came all way from Greece and fought in the areas, now in Afghanistan around 324BC.
2. Ghajnavi : Arabs came and fought wars in Afghanistan from 600 AD to 1200 AD and by that time, Afghanistan was converted to Muslims from past Buddhists and Hindus.
3. Chengij Khan : The great Mongol warlord came all the way from Mongolia and fought wars in Afghanistan. And finally he went back without ruling this country. But he inflicted heavy loss of human lives and properties all around Afghanistan. Mongols terror lasted for almost 300 years from 1200 to 1500 AD.
4. After 1500 AD, no such foreign invasion took place, as during this period the whole world saw some peace. Industrial revolution caused Europeans dominate world market.
5. After the British captured whole of India in 1800AD, they came to Afghanistan and fought many wars. But they never could rule the country as it did whole of India.
6. After world war II, and at the height of cold war, Russian Army entered Afghanistan and started fighting with locals. They too left after 10 years of fruitless fight in 1989.
7. After Soviet Russia left, USA ( United States of America) moved in around 2003 and they are still fighting.

So, all world power come to Afghanistan to fight few wars for some reason or the other. And people from Afghanistan is fighting generation after generation.
