Surely the whole point of bombing is to commit homicide, it is thus at best a tautology.

Also shouldn't any journalist worth their salt know that it should be "AN homicide bombing"?

The use of "an" needs a silent "h". Sounds a bit too henglish to me.

Also shouldn't any journalist worth their salt know that it should be "AN 'omicide bombing"?
