I'm mixed on this one. It sounds cooler and is supposed to immasculate the bomber. But as a news piece viewer, I would like to know if the a-hole got away or not.
And it's repetitive. "Homicide bomber kills 10". Well, obviously I know he's homicidal, as he just killed ten folks. Then, I'd see "Bomber was also killed". So, instead of "Suicide bomber kills 10", we have to read "Homicidal bomber kills 10 and himself".
