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.

"That's why I prefer the label "Homicide bomber"

No, no, that is an awful phrase that doesn't express these situations at all. If someone plants a bomb somewhere and it kills people that person is a "homicide bomber" even if they themselves are not killed in the blast. I prefer the term "suicide murderer" although it doesn't describe the weapon used. So, I think we will have to stick with "suicide bomber".

Football in Oklahoma (Norman) is BIG business and there is no way that anyone would want to upset that situation was the notion that this is anything other than a distraught student who committed suicide - forbid it be an organized effort to place someone inside the stadium with a bomb vest. Nope, its an 'individualized' suicide.

"KFOR"

Don't look for truth here. KFOR is owned by the New York Times.
