KARACHI (Staff Report) – A hand grenade exploded inside courtroom in Karachi’s Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) after a judge asked a police constable if he knew how grenades worked.

The constable, instead of explaining his expertise in weapons and grenade handling to the judge, opted to demonstrate practically by promptly pulling out the pin from the grenade.

This resulted in a loud explosion, injuring five including the judge, the constable and a court clerk.

The blast took place while hearing of a case was underway in courtroom-III. Two policemen and a court clerk were among injured and taken to a nearby hospital for first aid. Court’s proceeding was briefly suspended as a result.

According to media reports, the grenade in question was a locally developed bomb which was brought to the courtroom by Investigation Officer Abid Ali as evidence. The bomb was, reportedly, not defused before production in the court.

The police and paramilitary forces in the vicinity immediately surrounded the area after the explosion fearing a terrorist attack and the security forces were put on high alert.

It is safe to say that now the whole court knows how grenades work, including the curious judge.

According to authorities, the constable who apparently knows how grenades work will be punished severely after he recovers from his injuries.

You used to be able to buy the neutered ones at the gun show for $5.

Probably some Congressmen/Congresswomen as well.......but not at the gun show, lol.

Like the suicide bomber said to his students during his demonstration: Watch closely, I’ll only do this once.

Since alcohol is haram in Islam, he couldn’t say “Hold my beer and watch this...”.

The judge is the one who said “show” not “tell.” So he showed.

First cousin marriage results in congenital birth defects and lowered IQ.

Pakistan has first cousin marriage. They also have nukes.

Isn’t that nice. Retards that now have the ability to kill me.

In my favorite episode of JAG, “Heroes”, Harm demonstrates a working knowledge of machine guns in the courtroom.

Maybe he got it from his dad who was a Marine. I'm still friends with the guy... now he's a retired USMC Colonel.

I really think we need a Humor forum here at FR. Between this, and the Waffle House fight in another thread, I been laughing for a while.

“How did that not kill the whole bunch?”

Their girlfriends (goats) took the brunt of the blast.

My first thought was of that episode.
