Stupid Terrorist Tricks

Headline says it all:

Suicide Bomber Blows Himself Up on Empty Mediterranean Beach

Seems as if he was observed and chased away from the hotel he was apparently targeting.  So he fled to an empty beach nearby – and executed his one-way mission.  Solo.

A second suicide bomber, possibly in a separate and unrelated attack, was reportedly noted and disarmed by Tunisian security forces before he could execute his mission (or anyone else).  Good job, guys.

Wonder if you still get “72 virgins” if you only take yourself out – or fail in your mission completely?  (smile)

Hey, now…if they want to go blow themselves up on an empty beach, I’d not only encourage them — I’d sell tickets. And popcorn!

Reminds me of the comic headline “People Unclear on the Idea”
1) Suicide bomber – check
2) Clothing by Semtex – check
3) Big explosion – check
4) Terrorizing everyone by killing many – uh, oops

No, a suicide bomber who takes himself out gets a 79 year old retired hooker–if she is willing. So, he wasted himself, some explosives, scewed up his mission but at least the crabs and seagulls eat well for a day. I wonder if the latter swooped down and plucked some of his parts from the air as they were rising.

Kinda old ET1

If only more suicide bombers were so “successful”.

And he didn’t say ‘Trick or treat’ first.

@ 4. Speaking of 79 year old hookers (they never retire)… Has anyone here been to the “Compound” in Istampbull Turkey?

This is a “No Shitter!”

Google it!

Nobody ever accused suicide bombers of being smart.

When I was in Afghanistan, a group of insurgents attempted to attack the base. There plan was to drive a tractor with a suicide bomber at the wheel who would ram the fence and blow himself up, making a hole for the others to get through to kill the western infidels.

Well, the dude blew himself up, as well as two of his buddies and the rest were quickly dispatched by the QRF. If I remember correctly they didn’t even get through the fence.

Well since he only took himself out instead of getting 72 virgins he will just grow 72 hands.

That’s what was referred to as a “Wile E. Coyote Bomber” in the “Smart books” they issued us before we went to A-stan! One story they used to illustrate that was of a hadji that packed a bicycle frame with plastic explosive and had a couple of mortar shells rigged to it for an extra punch. While he was pedaling it through Kabul at oh-dark-thirty, he hit the right bump at the right time, and “contact!”, one bicycle and bomber were blown to confetti, but other than a few broken windows, nothing happened, and no one else was hurt. While I was there, an Article in the Stars and Stripes told of a Toyota SUV that blew up in the middle of nowhere, the truck and at least three hadjis were blown to confetti, but nothing else. I just wish that that happened to splodeydopes a lot more often!!

Maybe he was trying to disarm the bomb, and it dis-armed him instead. He most likely was not the builder and did not know about the anti tamper devices. Good job, Omar.

Brings to mind the Palestinian bombers whose plans were interrupted after their failure to correct for Daylight (viz. “Zionist”) Savings Time.

Also, the Chechen women a few years back whose bomb exploded via an unexpected “Happy New Years” text from her cell provider.

The article reads, “In a separate plot to attack ex-President Habib Bourguiba’s tomb, security sources say police captured another would-be suicide bomber before he could detonate.”

WTF?

Now they’re trying to blow up people who are already did?

USMCE8Ret

…should read “dead”, not “did”.

hahahahahhahahaa

The first guy probably didn’t want to go through the hassle of turn-in, and because it is the new fiscal year he knew he had to get an early start on using the allotment, or else they wouldn’t get as much in FY 2015.
