Who was the first suicide bomber in Iraq?

The first suicide bomber in Iraq is often considered to be a man named Ahmed al-Falahi, who detonated an explosive device in a vehicle on February 24, 2004, targeting a police station in the city of Samarra. This attack marked a significant escalation in the use of suicide bombing tactics during the Iraq War, which became more prevalent in subsequent years. The method was primarily adopted by insurgent groups as a means to inflict maximum damage and instill fear.
