Really? I don't remember anyone ever mentioning the Joker directly; even Superman just says that he heard Jason was killed in an Ethiopean warehouse fire.
I considered that most of Jason's clothing would probably be destroyed by the bomb, but then you've got Sheila who looks almost completely unscathed with even her perfect 40's coif still intact. I guess it's just another case of the art failing to match the story.
I don't have my copy of ADitF immediately to hand, but Sheila tells Batman that Jason's last act was to try and shield her from the blast by putting himself between the bomb and her, so her being a little less damaged, and him being a lot MORE damaged ties in with that.
I don't think the Joker's involvement in the explosion was ever a secret, and it was mentioned (again IIRC) in the Gotham Knights story about Jason's death.
