SP - 915 EP - 917 VL - 98 IS - 3 N2 - Sageman's (2004) and Pape's (2005) arguments for the development of Al'Qaeda members and suicide terrorism are examined statistically. Presence of foreign occupying troops and foreign support for disliked local regimes appeared to be related to either the number of Al'Qaeda suicide terrorists (Pape) or the number of known Al'Qaeda members (Sageman) reported within 34 predominately Sunni nations. Results support the theory that nationalism fuels much of Middle Eastern resentment against allied nations.
