#1 While the latest warfare tactics are rather new in the war in Afghanistan, suicide bombings and kidnapping are both routinely employed in Iraq.

The current jihad campaign in Kashmir started with a spate of kidnappings. Suicide bombings are par for the course.
IEDs are a speciality, growing ever more sophisticated under tutelage of the ISI trainers.

Let us not forget the Indian airlines hijacking in 1999 when a team of five hijackers, armed with knives took over the plane after putting knives to the throat of the stewardess, killing a passeneger and gaining access to the cockpit.
