Suicide Bomb Trainer in Iraq Accidentally Blows Up His
Class



NY Times



 



BAGHDAD - If there were such a thing, it would probably
be rule No. 1 in the teaching manual for instructors of aspiring suicide
bombers: Don't give lessons with live explosives.



 



In what represented a cautionary tale for terrorist
teachers, and a cause of dark humor for ordinary Iraqis, a commander at a
secluded terrorist training camp north of Baghdad unwittingly used a belt
packed with explosives while conducting a demonstration early Monday for a
group of militants, killing himself and 21 other members of the Islamic State
of Iraq and Syria, army and police officials said.

I was grinning from ear to ear when I heard about this, sir.  Clearly, they failed to give a proper safety briefing before this training event!  I wonder if they still get credit for martyrdom after blowing up all their terrorist buddies?

And they say we are stupid for having warnings on everything.
