Absolutely tragic -- but at least this terrorist scumbag didn't do greater damage to even more innocents.

A mother who tried to stop her son from carrying out a suicide bomb attack triggered an explosion in the family's home in southern Afghanistan that killed the would-be bomber, his mother and three siblings, police said Monday.

The would-be bomber had been studying at a madrassa, or religious school, in Pakistan, and when he returned to his home in Uruzgan province over the weekend announced that he planned to carry out a suicide attack, Interior Ministry spokesman Zemeri Bashary said.

Surviving family members told police that the suicide vest exploded during a struggle between the mother and her son, said Juma Gul Himat, Uruzgan's police chief. The man's brother and two sisters were also killed.

Family members said the would-be bomber gave his family $3,600 before telling them he intended to carry out the attack, Himat said.

And another such bomber who lost his nerve accidentally detonated his vest while taking it off before turning himself into the police, resulting in only his own death. I'm curious -- does he still get his virgins?

Also, this information needs to be proclaimed worldwide -- after investigation of allegations against US troops in Afghanistan made recently, the following has been determined.

There was no desecration of the Quran or any religious symbol by U.S. forces.

Now, if the Muslim world would become more interested in the desecration of their faith by terrorists, the outrage over this non-incident could be directed to better ends.
