BAGHDAD — If there were such a thing, it would probably be rule No. 1 in the teaching manual for instructors of aspiring suicide bombers: Don’t give lessons with live explosives.

In what represented a cautionary tale for terrorist teachers, and a cause of dark humor for ordinary Iraqis, a commander at a secluded terrorist training camp north of Baghdad unwittingly used a belt packed with explosives while conducting a demonstration early Monday morning for a group of militants, killing himself and 21 other members of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, army and police officials said.

When they make mistakes like this they are not awarded virgins. They are awarded “blow up” plastic females. All the other terrorists stand around and laugh at them.

Check out the movie Four Lions - it is hilarious - about a group of bumbling terrorists based in London.

If ever there was an example of “poetic justice,” that’s a dandy.
