That's why some news outlets refer to that sort of
terrorist as a "homicide bomber".

This may yet be just a suicide bomber,
unless we hear that he recently changed
his name to Mohammed M. Mohammed.

Lessee, KFOR reports it as an "individualized suicide", wow, that's quite a parsing of words isn't it? I thought all suicides were "individual" (or individualized in KFOR's lexicon). That's why I prefer the label "Homicide bomber" when others are killed along with the suicidal maniac, words mean things...as KFOR apparently knows.

No kidding, suicide bombings are usually performed by terroists.....hello , and no one thinks this is a big deal?
Packed stadium, suicide terroist bombing.
Dont panic??
Media hysterically reports hurricanes for weeks on end, hysterically reports on Holloway for months on end, and they keep this as quiet as it is?
This is the first I heard of it thanks to FReepers!!

Was the dead guy swarthy, black headed, carrying a Koran? That might give us a clue. Is that racial profiling? Put me down in favor of that.
