KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A mother who tried to stop her son from carrying out a suicide bomb attack triggered an explosion in the family's home in southern Afghanistan that killed the would-be bomber, his mother and three siblings, police said Monday.
The would-be bomber had been studying at a madrassa, or religious school, in Pakistan, and when he returned to his home in Uruzgan province over the weekend announced that he planned to carry out a suicide attack, Interior Ministry spokesman Zemeri Bashary said.
Surviving family members told police that the suicide vest exploded during a struggle between the mother and her son, said Juma Gul Himat, Uruzgan's police chief. The man's brother and two sisters were also killed.
Family members said the would-be bomber gave his family $3,600 before telling them he intended to carry out the attack, Himat said.
Bashary said the explosion happened on Sunday, but Himat said it occurred on Monday morning. It was not clear why the two accounts differed.
In a second accidental explosion, another would-be bomber killed himself Friday in Paktika province when he tried to take off the bomb vest he was wearing and it exploded, Bashary said. The man told authorities he had been instructed by his handlers in Pakistan to launch a suicide attack, but changed his mind when he saw people praying in a mosque.

I didn’t say she was a saint, but she did try to stop him—as I said in the first post for whatever reason.
I always tear up at happy news.
With apolologies :-) to the great Lewis Carroll:
“Beware the Jihadist, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that shred!
Beware the Hajib bird, and shun
The frumious LilSheetHead!”
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought —
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jihadist, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
“And, has thou slain the Jihadist?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
He chortled in his joy.
My apologies. I got the wrong poster. It was ‘wastedyears’ who said the mother was a saint.
Good.
..that's when the pieces stopped falling
Allah’s Will!
Sounds like this Afghani Mama wasn’t full tilt behind the ‘blow up her sons for Allah’ nonsense. Too bad she and her other kids had to die in addition to her idiot son.
People, this kid wasn’t off to kill infidels. He lives in Pakistan...he was off to kill muslims. even in islam, you have NO protection from terror.
The muslims he would have killed may have been going to a movie, suicide bombers have hit those before in Pakistan. He may have been targeting government workers because he simply disagreed with Musharif.
One has to wonder, why would allah honor muslims murdering muslims simply to change local politics. But senseless murder is so ingrained into islamic society this is par for the course.
Islam = the last bastion of barbarism on earth.
Is that real? If so, it makes you wonder what the point is. Beheading isn’t violent to these lunatics? So what is? A woman driving a car?
At least he didn’t bring home a social disease.
In a second accidental explosion, another would-be bomber killed himself Friday in Paktika province when he tried to take off the bomb vest he was wearing and it exploded, Bashary said. The man told authorities he had been instructed by his handlers in Pakistan to launch a suicide attack, but changed his mind when he saw people praying in a mosque.
I wonder if would-be martyrs will realize that the guys with the 44" waists are booby-trapping the vests.
“Mohammed Obama, no you don’t. You hold out for $5,000”, mother to son.
In truth, she probably didn't have any say in the matter.
Awwww- poor exploded Muslims.
Live by the death cult, die by the death cult.
Further proof- ISLAM killed them.
oops...
