Suicide bomber teacher accidentally blows up entire class.

There was much discussion in the Mamamia office about whether to publish this post. Some of us were vocally in favour of it, others were uncomfortable. In the end, we decided to report it very straight. Without tone or comment. You can add those bits in yourself after you’ve read it.

So.

According to the New York Times, a suicide bomber has accidentally blown up his entire class of 21 trainee suicide bombers when he inadvertently used a belt packed with live explosives during a demonstration.

In what represented a cautionary tale for terrorist teachers, and a cause of dark humor for ordinary Iraqis, a commander at a secluded terrorist training camp north of Baghdad unwittingly used a belt packed with explosives while conducting a demonstration early Monday for a group of militants, killing himself and 21 other members of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, army and police officials said.

Iraqi citizens have long been accustomed to daily attacks on public markets, mosques, funerals and even children’s soccer games, so they saw the story of the fumbling militants as a dark — and delicious — kind of poetic justice, especially coming amid a protracted surge of violence led by the terrorist group, including a rise in suicide bombings.

Because KARMA.
