Um, homocide bomber? (If a male gives another maile AIDS, is that considered homocide?)

If you meant "homicide bomber", that seems redundant...

Maybe "suicide bomber"?

Cute. But I didn't mean 'suicide bomber'.........because whoever did it is a cold blooded murderer.

Forgive the spelling error. I'm usually more careful about things like that, lest I be ridiculed by people like you.......

Maybe "suicide bomber"?

Suicide bomber is no longer politically correct comrade.

If a homicide bomber kills only himself but destroys a building is he a failed homicide bomber or is it ok to call him a suicide bomber at that point. I've wondered if a bomber who kills both himself and somebody else isn't a "homicide/suicide bomber". And what if he kills some animals with his bomb? What if he injures people but doesn't kill them, would he be an "assault and battery bomber"? I just don't know any more.

Homicide bomber is the right phrase. The intent was too kill other people. It's only a suicide bomber if the individual takes special care to detonate out of the range of other people who might be injured. Homicide is the intent and the result of today's bombings.
