Residents stone, slash would-be suicide bomber to death
2010-03-26
KABUL, Afghanistan - A suicide bomber wearing a vest laden with explosives was killed by locals Thursday in eastern Afghanistan before he was able to detonate, police said. The incident occurred in the Muqur district of Afghanistan's Ghazni province, according to Kheyal Mohammad Sherzai, a police chief in the province.

The suicide attacker was from Pakistan's Warizistan area, authorities said.

The people who intervened in the incident pelted the man with stones and slashed him with knives and were able to kill the man and give the suicide vest to police.

#7  How did the locals know the man was a suicide bomber? The not being from 'round here bit was no doubt obvious, but the intent?

#6  The bomber suffered from thinking he was a tough guy in a town full of guys who attack bombers with kitchen knives & rocks! NOW surely thinks the guys in town are insensitive & politically incorrect too!

If those knive-wearing locals did to him what I suspect they did he will not be able to do much with his 72 virgins.

#2  Does he still get his raisins of clarity? I mean, he intended to kill a lot of people, so that should count for something, right?
