GH,

I wrote an article for SWJ magazine last spring that describes how AQ successfully cleared and occupied a town in Diyala Province. The article is mostly focused on the organizational, recruiting, and operations of AQ, but suicide attacks were used as a shaping tactic. Hopefully, this article is helpful. It may help serve as a start point for you.
