Israel-Palestine
Suspected boomer dies in Gaza
2004-09-03
An apparent would-be Palestinian suicide bomber was killed by his own explosives after he was shot by Israeli soldiers near the Gaza Strip's Karni crossing, sources on both sides said.
[Bang!] "Stop or we'll shoot!"
[KABOOM!]
Nice shot, Abner.

#7  Or an uninvolved third party could decide to go to the 7-11 and open the garage door with the remote.

#6  This could be a planned event. Few suicide bombers are "on their own" during these missions. If there's any question whether the bomber will carry out the mission, the belt can be rigged to either detonate immediately when the bomber sets the timer (ten min is usual in a vehicle or backpack bomb), or the bomb can be remote detonated by a third party.

#5  Good. Glad one of these fuckers are dead. Can you tell that I don't give a flying shit about this piece of scum.

Can you also tell that I have read about the carnage in Russia and am *not* about to take any shit any more?

#4  New Mark 13 electronic synthetic voice instruction explosive suicide vest:

You have strapped on the Mark 13 suicide vest. It combines all the features of the previous model, including a more powerful explosive, better schrapnel, a close and stylish fitting form for better concealment, and an electronic detonation system that is hardened to radio waves and EMP countermeasures. By strapping on this belt you have activated the electronics and mechanical interlock package, thus you have acknowledged that you agree to the mission and have been fully briefed as to the details of this mission. If you agree to the terms of this mission, say the word "Yes."

Uh, yes.

That is not a recognized response. If you agree to the terms of this mission, say the word "Yes."

Yyyyyyess.

That is not a recognized response. If you agree to the terms of this mission, say the word "Yes."

NO! This is a bunch of crap! I want out, now!

That is not a recognized response. This is the third non-recognizable answer, so, in the words of the Great Satan sport baseball, three strikes and you are out. This Mark 13 Electronic explosive vest will self-destruct in 5 seconds. 5...4...3....2....1.....

Kaboom!!!!!!
