I think they were identified from their credit cards......although there were pictures of birth certificates in the newspaper........I think that was just for journalistic effect.........I think that perhaps they couldn't leave any letters for their children as they might have been stopped from carrying out their intended action. I know if my hubby gave me a letter and said 'don't open this until midday tomorrow'.....my curiosity would get the better of me....and if I read something like that i would certainly contact the authorities...if only to save my hubby from himself. I think these guys who carried out the bombing had been severely indoctrinated and believed that what they were doing had its own reward.

In other countries suicide bombers are lauded and their families financial needs are undertaken by other muslims.......and maybe these men thought that the muslim community would look after their children and tell them that their daddy was a martyr......not a murderer.
