A WOULD-be suicide bomber fell down a flight of stairs and blew himself up as he headed out for an attack in Afghanistan, police say.
It was the second such incident in two days, with another man killing himself and three others on Tuesday when his bomb-filled waistcoat exploded as he was putting it on in the southern town of Lashkar Gah.
Yesterday’s blast was in a busy market area of the eastern town of Khost, a deputy provincial police chief said.
The would-be attacker tripped as he was leaving a building apparently to target an opening ceremony for a mosque that was expected to be attended by Afghan and international military officials, said Sakhi Mir.
“Coming down the stairs, he fell down and exploded. Two civilian women and a man were wounded,” Mir said.
Suicide attacks are regular feature of an insurgency led by the extremist Taliban movement that was in government between 1996 and 2001. The most deadly was in November 2007 and killed nearly 80 people, most of them school students.
Wild Thing’s comment……..
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL it’s not like you can rehearse this or anything.
He probably only gets one lousy virgin for just wounding someone.
This is not from this story but it is so funny. I thought you might like a good laugh.
These two jihadi jokers were walking IED’s and they probably called one another on the phone to say “Goodluck?” And we are the infidels, eh?
Poor klutzy Omar–we knew we had to get rid of him somehow. Tripped on the stairs–almost sounds like a gag from SNL or Carol Burnett.
I wonder if Omar can signal back that it’s not Virgins–it’s Virginians! Thomas Jefferson, George Washington!
Stars must be a complicated concept to the Taliban. Caves just don’t often come with stairs.
What is it they say? Inchallah!!!!
Now, if we can only get Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John Edwards to sit down and talk peace with these people ……. Ooooooops! KABOOM! All gone.
Maybe they’re running out of the competent bombers and are sending in the second string.
Darth, LOL I can see that happening too.
Lynn, yesss it does sound like it is right from SNL.
