On air: How can suicide bombing be stopped?

Meanwhile, at least four people by suicide bombers attacking the office of a US development organisation in the northern Afghan province of Kunduz.

Both cases again highlight the difficulties in stopping an attack carried out by someone who's prepared to die.

As our newsroom reports, 'police in Pakistan had earlier been congratulating themselves that last month was the first for two years without any suicide bombings in the country'. So clearly some progress had been made, but not enough.

Stopping suicide bombing is an unwanted challenge that Israel, the UK, Iraq, and Russia have also had to face over the past few years. So what if anything can be done to stop it?

You may have comments or questions on this. I'll happily pass them both on to our guests. If you'd like to take part, leave your number with your comment. We won't publish the number but will give you a ring.
