15 Jihadis In Afghanistan Killed When the Bombs They Are Making Inside a Mosque Blow Up

Well, I have to say that this is a first for me - linking to a story at Monsters & Critics but I don't see it anywhere else but it is one funny ass story as today, 15 jihadis in Afghanistan all died while making bombs to kill other people - their little bomb factory WAS INSIDE A MOSQUE and something went wrong and .....BOOM....all dead. : )

From the article:

Eight Arab, five Pakistani and two Afghan militants were killed when bombs they were making exploded prematurely inside a mosque in eastern Afghanistan, the Interior Ministry said Sunday.
The insurgents were assembling bombs in Desi Mosque of Yousifkhela district in the south-eastern province of Paktika on Friday, the ministry said.

Of course, we all know that mosques in Afghanistan are off limits to American troops due to Obama's ROE so I'm sure these clowns thought themselves pretty safe - I'm guessing that during the bomb making, one of the Paki Taliban made a wise crack about the Afghan and they got into a fight and the Arabs tried to get in the middle of it and ....well, you know the rest. Hahahaha. Sorry, but I can't get that picture out of my mind with the last sound in the room being a collective....."Oh Shit."

15 insurgents killed by their own bombs in Afghan mosque


Kabul - Eight Arab, five Pakistani and two Afghan militants were killed when bombs they were making exploded prematurely inside a mosque in eastern Afghanistan, the Interior Ministry said Sunday.

The insurgents were assembling bombs in Desi Mosque of Yousifkhela district in the south-eastern province of Paktika on Friday, the ministry said.

Pakika borders the Pakistani town of Wana, where Taliban militants are said to have training bases. Afghan officials have repeatedly blamed Islamabad for not doing enough to clamp down on cross-border infiltration by insurgents.

In the northern province of Kunduz, several Taliban fighters including a foreign insurgent commander were killed Saturday by a NATO airstrike in Chardarah district, NATO said on Sunday.

'After verifying insurgent activity and conducting careful planning to avoid civilian casualties and mitigate collateral damage, coalition aircraft were called in for the precision airstrike,' it said.

The targeted commander coordinated logistical support and operations 'with the Taliban's Pakistan foreign fighter cell leadership,' it said.

NATO also confirmed the death of one of its soldiers in a roadside explosion in southern Afghanistan on Saturday. The alliance had already reported the deaths of five more troops killed in separate attacks in the country on Saturday.

Saturday's deaths brought the total of foreign soldiers killed in the war this year to 309, compared with the 157 deaths registered between January and June of 2009, according to iCasualties.org.
