The "TNT" in "suicide bomber"

Recently, the FBI has been investigating about suicide bombers and their motives, as there have been a good number of attacks lately. Normally, one would think that suicide bombers are just people who want to damage our world, but we have to remember that they are still people on the inside. What could be the motives to drive someone to an action like that?

Recent studies have proven that there are 3 elements in the minds of young suicide bombers, wich have begun to be called TNT: Testosterone, Narrative and Theater. Testosterone is mentioned because the mindset that has arisen among them is dominated entirely by men. The narrative consists in that each of them has a story to tell and dreams to fulfill, even if those dreams are not the most innocent. And last but not least, each one of them wants to attract attention from the world by way of explosions.
