Militants accidentally set off own car bomb at training camp in Iraq, leaving 21 dead
BAGHDAD – Militants accidentally set off their own car bomb Monday at a training camp in the countryside north of Baghdad, leaving 21 dead and resulting in two dozen arrests, Iraqi officials said.I think I can safely say that THIS is exactly the kind of car bomb that we can all support. "Here, Achmed, you have to hook up the blue wire over he- NOT THE RED [BOOOOOOM]"
In the city of Mosul to the north, meanwhile, the speaker of parliament — one of the most prominent Sunni officials in Iraq — escaped unhurt from a roadside bomb attack on his motorcade.
Heh.
But wait, it gets better. The explosion alerted the good guys, who swooped in, captured a bunch of insurgents, and shut down a facility where they made car bombs to kill innocent people.
TO RECAP:
- 21 Dead tangos.
- 22 Tangos in custody.
- One car bomb making facility shut down.
Damn, but that's a good day right there...
That is all.

Apparently, the car bomb demonstrator was an instructor.
ReplyDeleteAl-Queda denies that it was Inspector Cleaseau and he most definately did not say, "And this is what it sounds like".

New guy indeed
The Massachusetts Legislature blames the car. They will soon pass a bill outlawing cars, for the safety of the children.
