The point was very simple. No one said or implied all. Even if it was true that there was not a single "assisted suicide bomber" your response was silly.

As for establishing one.

Its hard to establish it for certain but seeing more remote triggers with no local triggers, observations of how the suicide bombers act and so forth you can make guesses. Sometimes the bomb won't go off or in rare cases the bomber might even survive and under interrogation can say he didn't plan to explode the bomb, of course than your taking his word for it and his word may not be good, but if he starts cooperating quickly and you get real information from him it might be taken as a sign that he didn't really plan to kill himself in order to kill Iraqi police.
