Exactly what I thought when I first read about it. None of the suicide bombings I have read about anywhere, Iraq or otherwise has killed as many as easily. And I would bet it safe to assume that many if not most of the victims had no idea of the suicide bomb rumor. They likely just saw the wall of people closing in on them and panic overcame them until they were part of it.
