KIRKUK, Iraq (Reuters) - Three men trying to plant a bomb outside local government offices in northern Iraq (news - web sites) were killed when it exploded prematurely, the mayor of Hawija and police said on Friday.
Subhan Khalaf Ali, said the bomb exploded early on Friday morning in nearby Riyadh, which is part of his constituency and 50 km (30 miles) south west of Kirkuk. He said the attackers identities had not been confirmed.
Insurgents fighting the occupation have increasingly targeted local government officials as well as Iraqi security forces and civilians working with the occupation authorities.
In a separate incident, police in Hawija said U.S. soldiers opened fire on a group of men trying to rob the technical institute in the town on Thursday night. One of the thieves was killed and one wounded, they said.
There was no immediate comment from the U.S. military.

"U.S. soldiers opened fire on a group of men trying to rob the technical institute in the town on Thursday night. One of the thieves was killed and one wounded.."
Much safer to rob a shoe store for shoes to throw than to make bombs. Stick to what you know best.

It's kinda obvious that they didn't read their Bomb Making 101 manual.
Maybe it's time we wrote our own rendition of instruction manuals and left them lying around...just to confuse things.

The families need to contact the Iraqi OSHA and local Bombmakers Union. There's gotta be someone to sue in a work related accident.

They were trying to "set up us the bomb", and set up themselves instead.
I'm just cryin' my eyes out over it.
