#1 Identification of the body was delayed due to its severe mutilation as his limbs and head were cut off.

It sounds like he was either putting the bomb in the car, or taking it out. Sure wasn't riding in the car. And didn't have it strapped to his chest, since he doesn't have a torso section missing. I'm guessing he was bent over with his hands on the bomb, head above it, and torso leaning back. The position of the body only three meters away also seems to indicate this.

#3 You're wasting a lot of energy analyzing where some~~fool~~one :-( won't get his 72 virgins. You can't claim to be a "martyr" [sneerquotes mine] if all you blow up is yourself. Pal-OSHA should be the ones looking into these on-the-job accidents.

#6 Fadi Elwan Beni Odeh, 20, one of the Hamas Movement activists in the village of Tamon in the West Bank district of Jenin, last night martyred in a mysterious car explosion at the Ras Al-Ein suburb in Nablus.

It just doesnt get any better than this for the IDF, folks.
