That's without "suicide", because I think it would be too long for an arabic expression. You can add the meaning of "suicide" anywhere else in the sentence. for example, I would:

...انتحار باستخدام/عن طريق

استخدمت في عملية انتحارية...

by the way, In the first link the writer states that this long expression is equal to "booby trap"

Earlier & simpler Arabic term for clunky "SVBIED"

Greetings.

FWIW, an earlier generic term in Arabic media for such attacks used to be:

[ siyaarat malghuma سيارة ملغومة ]

= mined/bomb-laden/explosive-rigged vehicle"

Whether the mined vehicle is detonated by remote control or by a driver intent on achieving matrydom is effectively immaterial and akin to splitting semantic hairs in US military reporting.

HTH.

Regards... khair, in sha' Allah.
