Wow.

""Reuters reported that both had high-level security passes that enabled them to get through a checkpoint and into the heavily guarded Interior Ministry compound.

Guards became suspicious of one of the men because of his bulk and fired on him, detonating the explosive. As officers crowded around, the second bomber blew himself up, causing heavy casualties, according to the news agency. Reuters and several other news agencies put the number of dead at 28.""

3. Smart.

You think somebody has a bomb so you shoot at his body?

Seems to me a head shot would be the intelligent thing to do. :(
