I think that Diane's point was the best one -- the reason they are called "suicide bombers" is because now the bombers themselves are the weapon. This distinguishes them from the PLO and IRA and ETA (etc.) terrorist bombers of the past, who blew other people up without (intentionally, anyway) blowing themselves up in the process.

Agreed.
