KANDAHAR, Afghanistan - Suspected Taliban militants with explosives strapped to their bodies blew themselves up in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar on Tuesday after they were challenged by police, an official said.

No other deaths or injuries were reported in the blasts, which occurred on a main street in the city, provincial Gov. Asadullah Khalid said. He said the attackers were on foot.

1. Okay, they haven't got the hang of this.

2. As opposed to suicide bombers blowing up puppies instead of themselves?

How hard is it NOT to write rediculously dumb headlines, especially for so serious a subject? :eyes:

Anyway, I hope it remains that they only hurt themselves in the attack.

3. I kind of like that headline.

Dissing the bombers.

Before the uptight whiners start in on me, I want to point out that I am very glad that their mission apparently failed (I assume they had intended to take others with them.) It is entirely appropriate to thumb one's nose to their memories and fart in the general direction of their ashes.

4. Some of that good news that

Georgeous Gorge was whining about not being reported, no doubt.

6. Is that any thing like when a Monk in an orange robe bursts into flames?

8. Sad to think some people would do this.

9. Ah. I guess the headline does make sense.

If you get the intonation just right.

Otherwise you get the impression that they went, threw bombs, and then, I don't know, maybe slit their wrists.

At least they didn't kill any people.
