suicide vests
Wearable terror weapons
A suicide vest is an explosive device worn on the body, designed to be detonated by the wearer in a terrorist attack, killing themselves along with nearby victims.
The vest conceals explosives and often shrapnel beneath clothing, allowing the bomber to approach crowds or checkpoints before triggering the blast.
Security forces discovered the suicide vest before detonation.
