(Star Trek) Klingon Ethics/Culture Question

As a recent student of Klingon behavior during I have noted several instances of a strong "warrior ethic" such as refusing to use a child as a hostage, and considering assassination by poisoning to be a coward's action.  However, during the same... political incident the poisoning occurred, a suicide bombing was hailed as an acceptable death for a warrior.

I understand that a suicide is an honorable way out for a injured/sick/dishonored warrior, but how can the suicide bombing of a political target considered honorable?

The definition of a coward is "A person who lacks the courage to do or endure dangerous or unpleasant things." As you noted, "assassination by poisoning [is] a coward's action" because it requires neither braving danger nor facing unpleasantness. Suicide bombing, on the other hand, is both (clearly) dangerous and (presumably) unpleasant.
