If there were such a thing, it would probably be rule No. 1 in the teaching manual for instructors of aspiring suicide bombers: Don’t give lessons with live explosives.
In
what represented a cautionary tale for terrorist teachers, and a cause
of dark humor for ordinary Iraqis, a commander at a secluded terrorist
training camp north of Baghdad unwittingly used a belt packed with
explosives while conducting a demonstration early Monday for a group of
militants, killing himself and 21 other members of the Islamic State of
Iraq and Syria, army and police officials said.
Iraqi
citizens have long been accustomed to daily attacks on public markets,
mosques, funerals and even children’s soccer games, so they saw the
story of the fumbling militants as a dark — and delicious — kind of
poetic justice, especially coming amid a protracted surge of violence
led by the terrorist group, including a rise in suicide bombings.
