Suicide Bomber Suffers Workplace Accident
2013-09-29
A suicide bomber was killed instantly when he accidentally detonated his explosives belt in the Malian rebel bastion of Kidal on Sunday, without killing or wounding anyone else, a local government official told AFP.
Allah has spoken. He disapproves.
The incident came after militants carried out two attacks in northern Mali in less than 72 hours, marking an upsurge in violence since the breakdown of peace talks between the government and rebel groups on Thursday.

"The bomber was wearing his belt. He did something wrong, the belt exploded, and he was killed on the spot, before he could go on to commit a terrorist attack in the city," an official in the Kidal governor's office said.

"There was a big explosion that blew up part of the building the bomber was in."

#7  So this pigeon walks into his house and what does he say?

"Honey, I'm homing."

#5  I suspect the picture is a hoax. How could the pigeon reach the matches in him pocket?

#4  Love the pic - only the pigeon can't fly with its wings strapped down like that. The turban is a very nice touch.
