Blow'd upBlow'd up

Caption of the current Times front page photo:

Just days after a sweeping security operation started, a man with explosives in his shoes walked into a mosque and blew himself up.

How long has has The Times been saying “blew himself up?” It’s charmingly frank. Of course there’s still room for improvement… a man walked into a mosque and didn’t take his shoes off—he just blew himself right up with ’em.
