KABUL - A would-be suicide bomber died when his explosives-rigged vest went off prematurely in Afghanistan's capital on Saturday morning, police said. The apparent failed attack came a day after a major Taliban assault on an international compound in Kabul left 10 people dead including the six attackers.

Another blast in the country's east killed 12 people at a mosque during evening prayers late Friday. Authorities in Ghazni province say explosives transported by suspected Taliban fighters accidentally detonated while they were stopped at a mosque.

.....but remember that according to our ROE mosques are off limits for military operations despite constant use for weapons caches and safe havens for terrorists.

Yup. I hate it when that happens. (not) It ruined his whole day didn't it? I hope he is enjoying his 72 virgins now.
