Looking at ], practically the only source there is about the Sicarii, he doesn't mention any suicide attacks at all. (Quotes all from the translations available on Wikisource.) |

It looks like this article is a mosaic of editing from people with different takes on whether it should be about suicide attacks in general or suicide bombing specifically, with the articles oscillating pretty wildly and confusingly between the two scopes. ] (]) 13:12, 24 April 2023 (UTC) |

Josephus does mention Sicarii present at the ], but that wasn't a suicide attack, that was just a plain ol' ]. Heck, out of both the sources cited, one is a passing mention and other mainly covers the aforementioned Siege of Masada. At the very least, a rewrite is warranted. ] (]) 03:25, 17 December 2024 (UTC) |
