Blundering Afghan suicide bomber blows up 6 militants
Thu Mar 26, 2009 9:58am EDT KABUL, March 26 (Reuters) -

A would-be suicide bomber accidentally blew himself up on Thursday, killing six other militants as he was bidding them farewell to leave for his intended target, the Interior Ministry said.

"The terrorist was on his way to his destination and saying good-bye to his associates and then his suicide vest exploded," a statement from the ministry said.

edit:  Few things make me happy like getting to do The Dead Tango Dance.

Getting to do so because Achmed The Dead Tango scored what I believe the soccer-playing Euro-weenies call an "own goal" makes it all the more joyous an occasion.

I think I'll have pork and some wine tonight, to celebrate.

(Well, OK, Mrs. Drang had already taken the pork cutlets out to thaw, and I have half a bottle of a yummy '06 Brander Cuvee Natalie left from last night's dinner, but this is a special occasion!)

(Edited to add material I didn't get to before Blogger shut down for maintenence.  Achmed the Dead Terrorist is a true hoot-and-a-half.)
