You have quoted Bukhari, Volume 9, book 93, number 621 to support suicide bomber and the following is the extract:

Sahih Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 93, Number 621: Narrated Al-Mughira: Our Prophet has informed us our Lord's Message that whoever of us is martyred, will go to Paradise". The phrase, whoever of us is martyred, in this verse should not be interpreted as whoever is killed or else the whole verse would turn up to be those muslims that are not killed would not be given a chance to paradise.

Let's consider carefully the Holy Quran to determine who could be entitled for a place in paradise:

Quran 2:25, "And give glad tidings to those who believe and do righteous good deeds, that for them will be Gardens under which rivers flow (paradise). Every time they will be provided with a fruit therefrom, they will say: "This is what we were provided with before," and they will be given things in resemblance (i.e. in the same form but different in taste) and they shall have therein Azwajun Mutahharatun (purified mates or wives) and they will abide therein forever

Quran 2:82, "And those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah تعالى - Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, they are dwellers of paradise, they will dwell therein forever. (See V. 2:257) "

They shall have whatsoever they desire with their Lord. That is the supreme Grace, (paradise). "
