#1 ...and suddenly he blew up.

Is there any other way to blow up?

#2 Jurt Thurt? What happened to plain old Anonymous?

Anyway, Afghan, wiring, Afghan roads, stock suspension - one wonders that it doesn't happen more often......

#3 tu:

I think you're right. "And, ever so slowly, bit by bit, he exploded..."

It just doesn't have that zing, y'know?

#4 There was a military vehicle driving toward him, and suddenly he blew up." Sahel said the man appeared to be a suicide bomber, but that he had no idea why the explosion occurred on the open road or what kind of mission the dead man might have been on.

#6 "We think he had explosives around his body. Half of him was simply gone," he said.

Ahhh.... the 72 virgins will be so disappointed!

#7 I blame K Duckworth and friends. More torque was clearly needed.

#8 He just need a tune up. Predetonation is bad for your engine don't you know.
