In a scene straight out of a Hollywood film, a Taliban fighter detonated his suicide vest by mistake, killing himself and his eight colleagues without a single civilian casualty.
The militants were reportedly working for Mullah Wali, a Taliban commander, British tabloid The Sun reported. The group had planned a devastating attack on the northern Afghan city of Kunduz.
The paper quoted the Afghan Ministry of Interior as saying the jihadis were all wearing suicide vests, and appeared to be plotting a coordinated attack.
On their way to Kunduz something went wrong and one of the fighters appears to have detonated his bomb prematurely. The explosion killed all the jihadis involved.
The Taliban has chosen to remain silent about the explosion, perhaps out of embarassment, the tabloid said.
In an earlier incident, a group of 10 would-be bombers had blown themselves up whilst working on an IED in Ghazni province.
Similarly, in November last year, an incompetent jihadi was blown to pieces by a mortar whilst filming IS propaganda video.
please let there be video of this!
I love a happy ending.
Off topic but do they still show Quick Draw McGraw on TV? I thought that with his sidekick with the Mexican accent that this isn’t PC to show anymore.
The Obama Administration send condolences to the families of the “freedom fighters and will offer reparations for their loss.
Do they still get 72 virgins if they screw up and fail in their mission??¿
And they say there are no more feel good stories anymore!
Aw, it’s just a matter of perspective. I wouldn’t say he detonated early. I’d say it was just about the right time.
I just love happy endings.
Allahu fubar!
9 less reptilian-brain savages.
“OK, guys, I’m only going to show you how to do this once.”
The early bird sleeps with the worms.
Kind of like that old jest, 'Hire the handicapped, they're fun to watch!" Except the exploding idiot crowd is best viewed remotely...
Half a terrorist here and the other half over there. That is terror spread all over.
D’oh
Yep. The feller had blue eyes. One blew this way and the other one blew that way.
