Suicide Bomber Falls Down Stairs; Dies of Embarrassment and Bomb Detonation,But Mostly Bomb

Own goal:

A WOULD-be suicide bomber fell down a flight of stairs and blew himself up as he headed out for an attack in Afghanistan, police say. It was the second such incident in two days, with another man killing himself and three others on Tuesday when his bomb-filled waistcoat exploded as he was putting it on in the southern town of Lashkar Gah.

Thanks to CAD Daddy for the story and the headline.

I had to adjust the title, it was too long.

Sounds like the Taliban is having difficulty finding suitable suicide bombers, like those that can chew gum and walk at the same time?

I just love premature explodalation stories! I can just picture the guy putting on the vest, looking at his watch, saying “Ooops, gotta go, I’m a little late”, then he hits the top step, trips on his shoelace, and BOOM!

We have a "boom" in booper bombers.

They must be under pressure, in a hurry.

Thanks to our men and women as well as those from NATO!

Thank you ladies and gentlemen for you service!
