15 insurgents killed by their own bombs in Afghan mosque
2010-06-27
Eight Arab, five Pakistani and two Afghan militants were killed when bombs they were making exploded prematurely inside a mosque in eastern Afghanistan, the Interior Ministry said Sunday.

The insurgents were assembling bombs in Desi Mosque of Yousifkhela district in the south-eastern province of Paktika on Friday, the ministry said.

Pakika borders the Pakistani town of Wana, where Taliban militants are said to have training bases. Afghan officials have repeatedly blamed Islamabad for not doing enough to clamp down on cross-border infiltration by insurgents

#7  @ Pappy... actually desi means 'fellow countryman' in Hindi & Urdu languages.
Mostly used in India.

#5  You know how they used to say to turn off your two-way radios when entering construction blast zones - maybe nobody told these guys (or maybe WE didn't turn OURS off.)
