Terrorism is Dangerous (OSHA incident)
2011-06-04
Let this be a lesson to all you wanna-be terrorists - it's a tough way to make a living.
A wanna-be terrorist from Chile was left horribly disfigured after a half-baked bomb plot literally blew up in his face.

Luciano Pitronello Schuffeneger, 22, suffered third-degree burns throughout his body, lost his eyesight and had to have both hands amputated when an explosive he intended to detonate in a local bank unexpectedly went off, El Mercurio newspaper reported.

Investigators are also searching for a motive behind the botched attack. A self-described anarchist with reported ties to fringe groups, Pitronello ran a short-lived, anti-capitalist blog as a teenager.

"We thought it was just a phase, but apparently he became a radical. We never thought he'd end up like this," an unnamed friend told La Segunda newspaper.
He probably didn't figure on ending up blind and with no hands, himself.
