Sounds like the not too bright jihadi bomber who got sent out to blow up a bus and came back with burnt lips.

It was a block from the Dublin mosque. Questions?

Excerpt:
A senior source said: This certainly was a high-grade explosive used in this bomb. It wasnt garbage stuff.
It would appear the bomber got his timings wrong.
It could be a case where he didnt put his watch forward on Sunday [at 1am] and the timer went off too soon.
However, it is more likely he didnt realise just how powerful the explosives would be.
If anyone had been in the car or walking near it at the time then they would have been killed.
The Volvo SUV was completely destroyed in the blast while a house beside the vehicle had its doors and windows blown off.
The army bomb squad was called to the scene by police and the Explosive Ordnance Defence unit was carrying out a post blast analysis yesterday.
The car owner runs a business in the area and has no criminal convictions.
He declined to comment when contacted yesterday.

This certainly was a high-grade explosive used in this bomb. It wasn’t garbage stuff...GTFO! If it was high grade and could have killed or damaged a targeted car, he would NOT have run off.

I'm a little skeptical of that conclusion. If he forgot to set his watch then he probably would forget to set the clock of the timing device also unless the timing device was a cellphone or something that automatically updates.

Well, sent out on the sabotage mission, at least he did not burn his lips on the car he was assigned to blow up.

I’d guess it was drug related. Maybe... Curiousity killed the cat. If he stayed close enough to see his handiwork, not knowing the power of the device, he could have caught a face full of shrapnel.
Had he been holding it his new nickname would be “Lefty”.
