if you choose to strap a bomb to yourself which you know someone else will detonate, then it's suicide.

I wish things were that simple. There are several variations that makes this logic less convincing, from social pressure ('all families must make sacrifices') to outright catch-22 ('if you do not do it, we will kill you and your family').

Especially in the latter case, I wouldn't call this suicide.
