Oops! Suicide bomber detonates vest early, kills 8 other terrorists
India Today ^ | 4/27/16 | Vishakha Saxena

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.

Premature detonation...I think they have medication for that.

Take 2 62 gr rounds by mouth.

I am thinking this may not have been a mistake. These "volunteers" are often intimidated or blackmailed into these vile deeds. Maybe he just decided to take out a few tormentors when he was forced to explode himself.

Kinda hard to get a do-over on this. Wonder how hot it is where they are at now?

72 Virgins that all look like Hillary.

Yes. But they all look like Lena Dunham.

How quickly you forget! Don't make me post Helen Thomas' picture so close to dinner time here on the East Coast! She is already available and I'm sure she'd volunteer!

What do you call an accident which kills nine terrorists?

A good start.

Was thinking the same. Might be a hero we'll never hear about.

No 72 virgins if you blow yourself up by mistake.
