Reuters | Breaking News from Around the Globe

Note the opeing paragraph:

Israel pledged to leave no stone unturned to halt a "campaign of terror" against it after a suspected suicide bomber killed at least 12 people in the port city of Haifa Sunday.


I wonder how Reuters defines a "suspected suicide bomber." First of all, they aren't protecting his right to be presumed innocent, if there is one in Palestine, because the guy is dead. Did he explode by spontaneous combustion? Or maybe it just escape his attention that he had C-4 strapped to his body. Maybe that happens a lot over there.

Please excuse me for being dense, but it seems to me that if a person explodes and, in so doing, kills a bunch of bystanders, there's nothing "suspected" about it.
