Terrorist killed by own bomb
2014-02-23
[DAWN] A suspected terrorist was blown up when a bomb he was planting along a roadside went off here on Sunday morning.

A police official said that the terrorist was planting an improvised bomb along Nasir Bagh Road on the outskirts of Beautiful Downtown Peshawar
...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire.
, but it went off accidentally, blowing him up. He said that as the area was away from population no other casualty was occurred.

He said that the outlaw couldn't be identified as his body parts were found scattered on the spot. "We found only legs and shoes of the hard boy, and rest of body parts were torn into pieces due to the impact of the IED," he added.
"We did find three ears, though, which is puzzling. Inbreeding, perhaps?"
The official said that the police could be the possible target as they had started patrolling the roads to provide security to the health teams, who would vaccinate children against various diseases across the provincial metropolis on Sunday (today) under the provincial government's Sehat ka Insaf programme.

The IED, said the official, was remote controlled and weighed about five kilogram.

#1  So a remotely controlled IED went off "unexpectedly", eh? Methinks perhaps that cell has a mole somewhere. :-)
