This case is a great example. Why should they use a suicide bomber when leaving a package and walking away does just as much damage, and then they can do it again.

I can see it if it's a huge car bomb and it will kill hundreds of people, but in a small attack like this it's pointless.
Suicide bombing volunteers are a dime a dozen. It's not the masterminds doing the bombing. It's the ignorant. So they could care less about the collateral loss.

So if you want to do the most damage, why wouldn't you have someone walk into a crowd of people instead of trying to anticipate the proper place to hide a bomb.
