Suicide bombers and IRA hunger strikers – are comparisons fair? #BBCNolan

"The secret to understanding present-day suicide bombers could lie in the republican hunger strikes." So says commentator Malachi O'Doherty. It's a controversial statement. Writing in the Belfast telegraph Malachi says suicide bombers and hunger strikers were likely to be young men who had little to live for, had low self esteem and were easily led. Does he have a point? Or are the two groups miles apart? #BBCNolan
