Maybe the US military should rethink it’s position on secrecy. Rather than attempting to conceal its location and travel intentions, it could tweet and text-message all the locals wherever it goes. Boom!! “Oh, we’re sorry, we just wanted to keep you informed what we were doing in your area. Sorry to have detonated you.”

Cell phones have become a remote detonator of choice for terrorist groups the world over. Explosions can be triggered from a distance by calling or texting the number of the phone

Texting has nothing to do with it. Calling the number is what sets it off.

How do they know all this? The cell phone detonation device survived the blast?

This is a lot like the old joke about a news story about a man who died in his sleep because he dreamed of being chased by monsters and he ran too fast in his dreams and had a heart attack.

the text message -- a remote trigger for a cell phone belt bomb -- wished her a happy new year

Nothing like starting the New Year off with a bang.

This was in the Russian press a few days ago:
Grani

‘MK’: Large terror attack at Manege Square prevented by cell phone Spam

On New Year’s Eve there could have been a large terrorist attack in Russia - a suicide bomber had been about to bring an explosive device to Moscow’s Manege Square. This was reported in ‘Moskovsky Komsomolets’, citing sources in the security services. According to the newspaper’s interlocutors, the terrorists were foiled in their plans by an accident: the blast took place a few hours early in a shooting club in Kuzminki because the bomber’s mobile phone received a text message – Season’s Greetings from the cell phone company. The blast killed the suicide bomber, and her accomplices fled the scene.

Moskovsky Komsomolets

Was Moscow saved from disaster by a text message?

‘MK’ was in the terrorists’ lair to find out why the New Year’s Eve attack failed

A terrorist attack on Moscow had been planned since the beginning of November, security service sources told ‘MK’. A blast was planned for the night of December 31st-January 1st, at the scene of the most popular New Year’s Eve celebrations, but the blast took place early, within a few hours of the festive midnight. According to one theory it was by shear luck: Spam – A Happy New Year greeting from the phone company - was sent to the suicide bomber’s cell phone. The blast killed the suicide bomber, and her accomplices fled the scene. Afterwards they planned (and implemented) an attack on Domodedovo. ‘MK’ visited the house where the security services supposed the terrorists had gone into hiding.
