Suicide bomb instructor blows up his students

[Nye Bevan]

Would-be suicide bombers got to meet their 72 virgins a bit early on Monday when their clumsy al Qaeda tutor accidentally detonated an explosives-packed car during a how-to-bomb lesson at their Iraqi terror camp.

The blast at a training camp disguised in an orchard in a Sunni area north of Baghdad killed the instructor and 20 of his students, Iraqi officials said.

.......

A police officer said the camp members were attending a lesson on making car bombs and explosive belts when a glitch set off one of the devices.

Even more embarrassing was that the group was filming a propaganda video of how to conduct car bomb attacks when the explosives detonated, according to Majeed Ali, the head of the Sahwa militia force in the city.
