The suicide bomber is wrapped in explosives and tries to get as close to others as possible.
Zarqawi porbably had a shelter in the house or at least took some cover if he had time, either way most bombs used by the air force are for destroying infrastructure and the concusion/shockwave is the devestating effect of them. Used in the open dessert most bombs either bury their human targets or crush the frail human frame
