Men with bombs strapped to their chest walk in 1 direction. Caption. It was Hezbollah who gave birth to the phenomenon.

On April 12, 1996, Hussein Mikdad, a Lebanese man recruited to be a guerilla fighter for the Hezbollah, became the only victim of his own bomb in a hotel room in East Jerusalem. The accidental explosion left him a blind amputee. When his condition stabilized, he was interrogated. Research and interviews with Mikdad reveal a network of international terrorism operating not only in the Middle East but also in the U.S. and Europe. NOTE: Frontal nudity.
