    The bomber takes a satchel carried by a school kid ( perhaps his child) containing a bomb, takes a last look around the marketplace then detonates.
    In the journey to the afterlife hoping to reconnect with loved ones through dreams the bomber is disappointed finding little connection.Paradise seems empty.
