Terrorist bomb detonates on bombers

TIKRIT, Iraq – One terrorist was killed and another severely injured when the improvised explosive device they were attempting to emplace detonated prematurely. The incident occurred Dec. 19, near the city of Tikrit.

Tikrit police and Soldiers from the 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team responded to the explosion. The police officers performed first-aid on the injured bomber, who was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.

The IED was composed of a 155 mm artillery shell and a detonating device, according to an explosives ordnance team investigating the explosion.

Soldiers searching the area discovered another artillery round and several other IED components in a nearby vehicle.

In addition to the wounded bomber, two other men were detained for allegedly attempting to help the surviving bomber avoid the responding security forces.

Perhaps the bomb detonated because somebody dialed the wrong number ...

"We're too nice. They should have just let the bomber bleed to death."

I think that mean they urinated on his wounds, you know, to sterilize them or something.

A 155 shell – and one of them survived? One lucky terrorist – or only the detonator went off.

They should have shot him in the head and then thrown Spam on him to deny him entry into Allah's great circle party in the sky.

After interrogation, of course.
