2 Bombers Die in Failed Pakistan Attack
Source: The Huffington Post

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Two suspected suicide bombers died Sunday when they prematurely detonated their bomb near the residence of a senior leader of the ruling party in eastern Pakistan, police said.

The men were on a motorcycle and were not far away from the residence of Ijazul Haq, a senior leader of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Q party, in the city of Bahawalnagar when their bomb exploded, said Zafar Abbas Bukhari, the district police chief.

The blast was the first suicide attack in Pakistan since the assassination of opposition leader Benazir Bhutto on Thursday. Her killing triggered nationwide riots and raised doubts on whether parliamentary elections on Jan. 8 can go ahead as planned.

Haq was not at home when the attackers struck.

4. Proof that not suicide bombers are very bright.
Personally I think they'e all batshit crazy. They change nothing and kill innocent people.

What self-respecting virgin would want to cavort in the afterlife with somone who shows up all messy and gory with have his anatomy missing?

6. SUICIDE BOMBERS NEEDED: EXPERIENCED ONLY NEED APPLY
OJT for suicide bomber trainees just didn't seem to work out.

7. Answer: Premature Detonation
Question: What can happen when a suicide bomber gets too excited thinking about the virgins awaiting them in heaven?
