I suppose it makes for an interesting debate. I do agree that the media usually calls such persons "suicide bombers." But, that doesn't make it the right or best term. If the intent is to kill others (and how could that not be the main intent. . .they're willing to die to make killing others happen) the best term is [I]homicide[I]bomber. The fact that he or she is also killed is of little or no consequence. Maybe kamikaze bomber would work too?
Anyway, karma is a b****
