Would-be suicide bombers blown up in Afghan blast
Those suckers are on a roll, aren't they? These have got to be Hek's Secret Suicide Army of Doom™...
Two would-be suicide bombers have blown themselves up while strapping on explosives in an Afghan town bordering Pakistan, police said.
Of course it was close to Pakistan. You notice they don't do this stuff close to Iran or close to Tadjikistan, or close to Guatamala...
No one else was hurt in the blast near the market in Spin Boldak, Afghan border force commander Abdul Raziq told Reuters. "They were hiding explosives under their clothes when they went off," he said, adding that police suspected the bombers had intended to target troops from the US-led force in Afghanistan.

Earlier, two US soldiers were wounded when their vehicle was hit by a bomb blast in neighbouring Helmand province, said US military spokesman Lieutenant Mike Cody. A spokesman for the Taliban guerrillas, Qari Mohammad Yousuf, claimed responsibility for the attack, which came a day after an American and an Afghan soldier were killed and two US troops were wounded in a similar attack in eastern Kunar province.
