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?

All this could have been avoided if they had only been wearing their reflective belts. Those terrorists will never learn!

Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of guys. I'm hoping all of their remaining bomb designers, and trainers are just as skilled as this one.

Not gonna lie, when I first read the article, I had to check a few times to make sure I wasn't on the duffelblog. I think this guy gave a decent class though, even if he did fail the risk assessment...

It was a live fire exercise posted in English.
I remember when Communists used to blow themselves up putting in mines around Berlin. To me it was a mini 4th if July.
