(IraqiNews.com) Kirkuk – Iraqi media outlets reported on Wednesday that a malfunction caused an explosive belt to explode and kill 16 members of the Islamic State (ISIS), including senior leaders, during their meeting in Hawija, southwest of Kirkuk.
Alsumaria stated, “Today, an explosion took place amid a meeting of ISIS members in al-Mahawes village in Hawija district (55 km southwest of Kirkuk),” adding that, “The explosion resulted in the killing of 16 members of the Islamic State group, including senior leaders, as well as wounding of 16 others.”
“A number of the ISIS members were wearing explosive belts during the meeting, and the explosion took place due to a defect in one of them,” Sumaria explained. “The meeting was held to prepare for an attack on the positions of the security forces in Hamrin Mountains, al-Zawiya area and Ajil area in Salahuddin Province,” Sumaria added.
I love happy endings.
PING!
Me too. Sounds like they had a blast.
Darwin Award Candidates Alert.
No word on whether their ahem wardrobe malfunction still entitles them to 72 virgins in the hereafter.
Openings for explosive vest test pilots. Life insurance, but no vacation offered.
Mebbe Trump doesn’t need to bring these jobs to USA.
Ahmed, try this cigar! (snicker)...
Wearing a bomb belt is hazardous. You never know what could set if off.
Fortunately, no one else was killed in the blast.
Self-inflicted suicide.
...Openings for explosive vest test pilots...
“Watch closely, I’m only going to do this once.”

Comic-con?
Whoever had to clean that up must be next in charge.
That must have left a big carbon footprint.
This world enemy is cavemen-esque, or is it the current administrations way of avoiding the military going over his head.
See a lot of these “accidents”, either way a bunch of scum are removed from stealing air.
“The Greenwich Village townhouse explosion occurred on March 6, 1970, in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of the New York City borough of Manhattan. It was caused by the premature detonation of a bomb that was being assembled by members of the Weather Underground, an American radical left group.”
Thank you, Wikipedia.
When I read that vested interests in Kirkuk had an explosive meeting, I was teleported back to 1970, when I was in High School, and heard the NBC News report of the above accidental bomb explosion. Imagine the surprise one of Bill Ayres best buds then felt when his homemade bomb went off in his lap. I got all nostalgic again for the halcyon days of my youth.
The will of Allah.
It was translated as "69 virgins" when all along it was actually "A 69 year old virgin"
no virgins for you!
