A man whom the U.S. described as a key figure in Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula accidentally blew himself up, U.S. military officials told Fox News.
The officials say Nayif Al-Qahtani was "messing with a bomb" when it went off. U.S. officials had been watching him, but Fox News' sources insist the U.S. had nothing to do with his death.
Al-Qahtani was "a vibrant guy linked to ongoing operations planning, and his death will have an impact," one official told Fox News.
An Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula newsletter was the first to announce his death a week after the United States put terror sanctions on him. The newsletter did not say when it happened but said Al-Qahtani died in Yemen's Abyan province in the south of the country.

No! But I'm sure there's a lovely consolation prize (HT pic in 3, 2, ...).

Well, that IS a biblical thing to pray for (confusion to the enemy). God helps in more ways than we can think.

Ok
I have had two virgins (both women, thank you very much) and I am sure after number 8 or number 9 I would be begging Allah for a few pros mixed into the lot.

I like to THINK that we have the ability to remotely set off explosive devices. I’ve read about this sort of thing happening ever so often. I can only HOPE that we have such technology.
