Question, Rambi....you're good with words too. If we have to refer to a "suicide bomber" what would you suggest...

To me the term "suicide" implies the killing of oneself.

But generally a "suicide bomber" kills more than him/her self.
He/she can take a few or hundreds with them as they all vaporize together.

Wouldn't this be termed "murderous suicide bomber"?

i.e. If a person has murdered others before, and decides on suicide for him/herself. I assume he/she is a suicide.

i.e. If a person hasn't killed others before, but decides to kill themselves now, plus has the will and desire and the weapons to do that, straps on a big bomb with nails and projectiles, kills him/herself, plus over 100 others....what is the term for someone this heinous...?

And even worse, the 100 others he/she kills could all be children.

Is there any difference between this person and someone who is a mass murderer other than the mass murderer might kill people one at a time ...aka Ted Bundy.
