Paks say church boomer may have detonated himself
2002-03-18
  • The authorities investigating the Protestant International Church attack believe the suspect died while detonating the grenades. The authorities described the suspect as a man in his early 20s who entered the church and reached the hall where a service was being held before starting hurling grenades from his bag. A spokesman for the Special Army Monitoring Team said the terrorist had straightened the pins of several grenades in his bag to save time. After he threw some of them, the pin of one of the grenades in his bag came off causing a big blast which also damaged the roof of the church, he said. "Perhaps the terrorist also died in the attack," he said.

    According to officials, only one unidentified dead body was shifted to the hospital. The body is beyond recognition. Several injured told Dawn they saw only one man hurling the grenades. Neither the police officials nor the injured saw the terrorist fleeing the church.
    Yeah. That sounds about right. That way they don't have to search for him, or for any accomplices. There's no Mister Big behind it, either.
