It seems it's a fact of life in areas of the world where individuals try to kill as many people as possible by means of a bomb attached to their person. It's homicide and I think "Homicide Bomber" is much more accurate.

What are your thoughts?

thanks my2sense for asking this question .i didnot think of this word before but a translator cannot use this word because homicide 's connotation does not include man killing himself

"Homicide Bomber" could be taken as redundant, as the act of bombing automatically involves killing others (or at least trying).  To me, "Suicide bomber" demonstrates the level of insanity of the individual, so I think it's a better description.
