A curiosity, now that it looks like a rocket attack was not responsible for the deaths in Mosul.

Other news outlets are willing to cite the conventional "suicide bomber". But not our esteemed friends at Fox News

I had not seen this term before, but maybe I just wasn't paying attention. I am guessing they want to make a point, but what would that be?

"At this point it looks like it was an improvised explosive device worn by an attacker," Myers said.

Did the guy wearing the bomb live that they changed the term to reflect that? I love Faux News. But it's not like the other side does anything more than infotainment either.
