It's called a fuck-up with terrible consequences. Terrorists do it intentionally. I haven 't seen anything credible stating members of our armed services routinely seek out and kill groups of Iraqi civilians.
Wasn't "homicide bomber" intended to be specific to suicide attacks? I seem to remember it being introduced two-three years ago during Rumsfeld press conferences.
