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.

Better put some ice on that.

Natural selection dictates that, over time, the remaining pool of prospective homicide bombers will become dumber and dumberer.

This happens occasionally and I wonder if the US is employing any kind of RF technology to try to detonate these things remotely.

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

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.

There should be a law to neuter all captured terrorists.

[Fenris6]

We are. I've seen some stories on it.

I don't think they were being merciful. After they get done interrogating him, he'll probably wish they had let him die.

Yeah, you'd think the Iraqis would have created their own version of OSHA by now. Maybe call it expl-OSHA.
