KABUL, March 26 (Reuters) - A would-be suicide bomber accidentally blew himself up on Thursday, killing six other militants as he was bidding them farewell to leave for his intended target, the Interior Ministry said.

"The terrorist was on his way to his destination and saying good-bye to his associates and then his suicide vest exploded," a statement from the ministry said.

Taliban-led attacks in Afghanistan have escalated in the past year with suicide and roadside bombings insurgents' weapons of choice.

The incident happened in Helmand province in southern Afghanistan where mainly British troops are struggling against a growing Taliban-led insurgency.

A vest filled with explosives: $1,000
Crash course in suicide bombing technique: $10
Blowing yourself and the other insurgents up on accident: Priceless

I'm sick, very sick, but I laughed out loud.

why does this remind me of the story of a couple of bombers driving their car bomb to their target when it blew up en-route...

apparently, they had forgotten about daylight savings... :tongue:

I didn't laugh, maybe a tiny lip twitch, but I didn't laugh.

Maybe we should encourage this. Then they could get all the personal fulfillment of blowing themselves up without involving those who don't want to be blown up - like children, non-combatants, the elderly and infirm.

We should just withdraw from Afghanistan. Immediately. But that's probably a subject for another thread.

I don't think he quite gets the saying of "going out with a bang"

So does he get his virgins or not - can we get a theological ruling?

Probably not . . .I mean all he did was damage his own cause.

These suicide bombers really aren't bad at all... they believe what they are doing is the right thing.
The bad person is their leader, the ones putting the lies in their heads in the first place.

if your idiotic enough to strap explosives to yourself in order to blow up innocent civillians because you think a great invisible being who lives on a cloud is gonna reward you you pretty much deserve whatever happens to you.
