Black Widow attempted New Year Moscow attack but blew herself up by mistake

A "Black Widow" suicide bomber planned a terrorist attack in central Moscow on New Year's Eve but was killed when an unexpected text message set off her bomb too early, according to Russian security sources.

The unnamed woman, who is thought to be part of the same group that struck Moscow's Domodedovo airport on Monday, intended to detonate a suicide belt on a busy square near Red Square on New Year's Eve in an attack that could have killed hundreds.

Security sources believe a spam message from her mobile phone operator wishing her a happy new year received just hours before the planned attack triggered her suicide belt, killing her but nobody else.

She was at her Moscow safe house at the time getting ready with two accomplices, both of whom survived and were seen fleeing the scene.

With apologies to Depeche Mode, I don’t think that God has a sick sense of humor. I do think He can sometimes be delightfully puckish.

Hi, this is the Fraternal Order of Police, and we’re just calling to ...

Um, well, we’ll call back later. Have a nice day.

Someone forgot to tell her that spam is not Halal. ;)

“Dear sir/madam, pardon this message, but I am stuck in Iraq. If you are not busy blowing up something, please send a wire transfer to Mr. Umbiki care of Nigerian embassy. You should receive a big surprise any second now.”

“Dear new customer, our records show that you purchased your pre-paid economy mobile phone recently, but forgot to unsubscribe from these annoying marketing messages. We hope this hasn’t inconvenienced you in any way.”

“Waz up bro/sis? Yo the bomb!”

LOL! This makes me think of the scenes from “An American Carol” with the terrorist who just couldn’t get to where he should have been on time...

See, we were warned that texting would end up killing you.

Next, talking to your bomb-handler while crossing the street.

Things that go “boom” in the night.

Reminds me of how the Weather Underground ground blew themselves up in March 1970 when one smuck dropped the dynamite. Destroyed a perfectly good townhouse too.

Kind of gives a whole new meaning to “Reach out and touch someone.”

Operator: We get signal.

I think I see a lawsuit on the horizon against the cell phone company for sending out fatal spam.

I’m thankful this happened in Russia. Had it happened in the U.S., Janet Incompetano would have ordered all air passengers to receive a spam e-mail five minutes before arriving at the airport “for the safety of us all”.

When I read the headline, the image that flashed through my mind was that dress that MO wore at inauguration. Then I realized this was a different black widow.
