A suicide while taking hundreds of others with you too is a bit of a weird use of the word "suicide" though: it'd be not unlike saying "the person attempted suicide by detonating a bomb in a crowded market".

This is a common use of the term: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_attack
It’s the emphasis - one is an attack that involves the death of the attacker, the other is someone killing themselves as the main goal.
“Taking everyone with you” is a perverse form of the latter perversion.
