A suicide attack is an attack in which the attacker or attackers intend and expect to die (see suicide). In a suicide attack in the strict sense the attacker dies by the attack itself, for example in an explosion or crash caused by the attacker. In a suicide attack in a wider sense, the attacker is sure or almost sure to die by the defense or retaliation of the attacked party.
In ancient times, an example of suicide attack is a killing by a dagger-wielding assassin, who is then killed by the victim's bodyguards, family (etc.) or tried and executed.
In modern times, such attacks are often carried out with the help of vehicles or explosive materials such as a bomb (a suicide bombing), or both (i.e. a vehicle loaded with explosives). If everything goes to plan, the attacker is killed upon impact or detonation.
