A case of premature textulation?

Uh, this could be urban legend and source for many one line humor retorts and images.

Why would a suicide bomber use a cell phone activated bomb? A simple push button would do the trick.

Unless suicide bombers are THAT stupid.

I’m sorry, but that was just funny. “Unexpected Text Message”. Probably some junk text spammer....

This is a true story. A few terrorists can really blow themself without getting chicken and report to a police or KGB at the very end.
Mobile phone is a Chechen know-how to prevent an outcome like this.

Sorry - I got the date from the Telegraph story, but I must have copied it wrong.
