...and the people around them when a bomb goes off? I was watching the video of Benazir Bhutto's assassination, and the gunman was veyr close to her, therefore, for a bomb to go off and her not be blown up as well, is strange. As well as the videographer taking the video. How far of a radius is it that it would kill you completely or blow you up? do some suicide bombers even stay intact?
Thaks!

They literally get blown away. The suicide vests that have been taken off captured terrorists ,by the Israelis and the Coalition forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, are ingenious devices they are dynamite sticks wrapped in nails for shrapnel and fired by a pressure switch detonator, the bomber decides when to set off the explosive and knows when he or she will die. Yet Dynamite has a very small radius of explosive force. about three feet for direct blast damage and another six feet of concussive force damage. The real killer in these tools of death are the nails and the the concussive force of the explosion. The body fells as if it is being pressed from all sides and being forced in one direction ,away from the blast. The closer you are to the blast the more you feel it.
What the film of Ms Bhutto's assassination "seems" to show is that she was shot at form very close range say four to six feet and as she ducked down she was hit by the concussive force of the explosion that forced her into the sunroof controls. I would say that her injuries were from all three actions and would have been so sever as to, if not kill her in the end to injury her so badly as to make it impossible for her to continue in politics for the foreseeable future.
As for the last part of your question only bits and pieces of the bomber would survive say a foot a hand or part of the head but not much more. I hope that this answers your questions.

The suicide bomber is blown to bits, the rest depends other factors such as the size of the bomb and the type of explosive. Despite his close proximity to her there were probably other objects that absorbed a majority of the explosive force.

They usually blow themselves up which is why they are called suicide bombers. Each individual packs explosives of different types and different strengths so each individual act would be unique. Some will kill more people than others depending on the explosive charge.

Usually , the Homicide Bomber is in NUmerous chunks afterwards.
From Personal experience in Iraq, I've seen Dogs eating whats left of AQ bombers.
Found a Lower Jaw once about 100M from his Detonation Point, sucks to be him, huh?

They all turn blue. Part blue here, part blue there, the rest blue over there.
If you need to ask what happens when a suicide bomber explodes, I am struggling how to answer this question seriously.
They go to virgin heaven, but I am quite sure there are only ugly ones left. All the pretty ones are taken.

They bypass as all persons bypass into non existence. The wages of sin is dying. people who're ideas-blowing with God or in a memorial tomb would be resurrected in the time of the thousand 3 hundred and sixty 5 days rule of Christ. yet they are merely long previous. Gen. 3:19: “in the sweat of your face you will eat bread until eventually you come back to the floor, for out of it you have been taken. For dirt you're and to dirt you will return.” Eccl. 9:10: “All that your hand reveals to do, do with your very capability, for there is not any paintings nor devising nor understanding nor expertise in Sheol [“the grave,” KJ, Kx; “the worldwide of the lifeless,” TEV], the situation to which you're going.” what's the undertaking of the lifeless? Eccl. 9:5: “The residing are unsleeping that they are going to die; yet as for the lifeless, they are unsleeping of no longer something in any respect.” playstation . 146:4: “His spirit is going out, he is going back to his floor; in that day his ideas [“ideas,” KJ, one hundred forty five:4 in Dy; “all his questioning,” NE; “plans,” RS, NAB] do perish.”

it depends from the yield of the charge. the more explosives you use, the more people you are likely going to hurt. there are means to make it even more efficient, but I wont tell you.

they kill them selfs, and if they don't they will kill their families
but some do it because they hope to get 30 virgins when they die.
