Abu Sayyaf member killed in "work accident"
2006-04-12
A suspected Abu Sayyaf rebel was accidentally killed by a bomb he intended to use to attack government troops on violent southern Jolo island, an army general said Wednesday. The powerful blast on Tuesday mangled the body of the still-unidentified militant in Boalo Lipid village in Jolo's Maimbung town, said Brigadier General Alexander Aleo, head of an anti-terrorist task force.

Aleo said the militant planted a land mine, which failed to explode when a military convoy passed by but went off when he checked on it.
Why does a picture of Wiley Coyote checking a landmine after the Roadrunner safely eats the birdseed off it come to mind?

#7  yep - Abu coyote goes out, checks it, jumps up and down violently on it until BOOM****... but you also need a really deep valley for him to plummet in after BOOMing (with that little impact cloud)...do they have those in the PI?

#5  When I got my first red-eye-reducing camera, I took lots of pix of my feet. I'd click the shutter button, nothing would happen, I'd bring the camera down to check it, and *flash!* yet another picture of my comely toes.

I like the Abu Sayyaf version better.
