Excerpt -
CHICHAWATNI, Pakistan, Feb 24 (Reuters) - Three suspected Pakistani militants were blown to pieces by their explosives on Saturday when they rode over a bump on a bicycle outside a town in the central province of Punjab, police said. "The head of one man has been blown off," Deputy Superintendent Bashir Ahmed told Reuters from Chichawatni, a town some 120 km (75 miles) north of Multan, the main city in southern Punjab.
Another of the dead men had his legs blown off, while the third had his stomach ripped open and died later in hospital, police said.
At least two of the dead men were students at a nearby madrasa, suspected of having links to Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan, a banned Sunni Muslim sectarian group, according to Ahmed.

Who'd thunk that speed bumps would be a good deterrent to terrorists?

This used to happen in Nam once in a while.
Some idiot 'guerrilla fighter' wouldn't wire his rig up right. He'd be pedaling along, hit a bump, and vanish in a pink cloud.
We can be grateful that only the three would be murderers were killed.
