"Four Taliban killed while laying bomb on highway," from Reuters, with thanks to Skeetstreet:

KABUL: Four suspected Taliban militants were killed in southern Afghanistan early yesterday when a bomb they were attempting to plant on a highway exploded, a provincial governor said.

“Four Taliban who were trying to plant a remote-controlled bomb in the Langar area, by the side of the highway en route to Tirin Kot, blew themselves up,” Uruzgan governor Jan Mohamed said.

“Police discovered the bodies along with four Kalashnikovs,” he said.
The area around Tirin Kot in troubled Uruzgan province has been the scene of frequent attacks by militants who often use crudely made bombs.

Maybe they were trying to launch themselves into space so they could see Allah?

An upgrade... from joe blows to martyr... 72 virgins apiece ain't bad, right?

Mr. Spencer-

That title typo should read:

WHOOPS!

(Unless you're turning British and dropping you "h" 's?)

On the story:

Allah must be getting tired of these idiots, as well.

Ka-boom! in Kabul. Tali-banned.

And defective explosives in London.

Two good twists of Fate for a change.

Sounds like a clear case of turban failure.

When they get to their final judgement, will they hear something like "You didn't kill any infidels. Going down!"

The Islamicidists have been humiliated again by their failure. We infidels must pay the price for their humiliation! Expect more remote-controlled bombs to be planted in retalitation for their failure to plant remote-controlled bombs!

"...militants using crudely made bombs."

I would say that bomb was constructed perfectly!!!
