Insurgent, family killed in accidental bomb explosion (such a shame!)
ABC News Online ^ | 27 December 2004

Posted on 12/29/2004 3:22:30 AM PST by Kepitalizm

An insurgent accidentally has killed himself and four members of his family in Iraq's southern city of Karbala.

Police say a bomb he was making exploded inside his house.

A woman was also wounded in the blast.

Makeshift roadside bombs are the weapon of choice for insurgents fighting US forces in Iraq.

Insurgents often plant the bombs, known as improvised explosive devices (IEDs), by the side of main roads, detonating them remotely as US military convoys or Iraqi security forces drive by.

Several roadside bombs, often made out of artillery shells, go off each day.

I guess this one proved not to be a dud. I'm glad he tested it first before using it.

Wonder if this was a "Hey Achmed, watch this!" type of event?

Dear ABC,

"Insurgent" means Terrorist.

Nothing on this earth is too bad for these scum. If I was in charge of matters in Iraq, the liberals here would be aghast at all the treatments I would like to give those Islamic pukes.
