jihadi decides to renew his commitment to Allah, which is the goal of
Ramadan, in a big way by laying hold of Allah's promise of Paradise to
those who "kill and are killed" for him (Qur'an 9:111). "Suicide bomber

Presumably
he thought that Allah was going to use him as an instrument of the
divine wrath by derailing the Toronto-bound Via passenger train. So does
