Iraqi Boomers Foiled
Less than three hours later, another Task Force Baghdad unit working in southern Baghdad found bombs on both sides of a major highway. The soldiers cordoned off the area and called in explosives experts to dispose of the bombs. While the explosives team was examining the bombs, a vehicle sped toward the outer perimeter of the cordon around the bomb site. The soldiers shouted and waved for the car to stop. After the soldiers fired warning shots, the driver stopped about 400 yards away and the car exploded. Perhaps a stray slug? Oh, well! When the explosives team on site inspected the car, they determined it had contained four mortar rounds and had detonated prematurely, killing the suicide bomber. More at link.
