Attacks backfire on terrorists
TIKRIT, Iraq Seven terrorists were killed in two failed attacks Dec. 24 in Salah Ad Din province.
Police in Samarra responded to an explosion and discovered the bodies of three unidentified men. The men were attempting to fire an 82-mm mortar at an unknown target when the round detonated prematurely. A fourth terrorist was taken to a local medical facility, but died from his injuries while attempting to escape.
A short time later, a patrol from the 3rd Infantry Divisions 1st Brigade Combat Team annihilated a would-be ambush near the city Ad Duluiyah. Terrorists attacked the patrol with small arms fire, but the Soldiers quickly identified and engaged them, killing three. No Soldiers were injured in the engagement.

Question: If Muslim nutjobs . . . . er, terrorists . . . . . er, INSURGENTS blow themselves up due to their own stupidity . . . . . er, lack of training, when they get to heaven do they still get their 72 virgins? Or do they just get a card that reads "Sorry, Charlie"?

"annihilated a would-be ambush"
OOoooooohhhhhh
"annihilated" a very good word, esp in reference to the bad guys.

...discovered the bodies of three unidentified men. The men were attempting to fire an 82-mm mortar... Good luck identifying those bodies now!

The most famous was the prisoner who "was poisoned while trying to escape." Probably some .45 caliber lead poisoning!
