Terrorists’s Insurgents’ rocket assault backfires
2004-07-02
EFL
Insurgents rigged a launcher inside a minibus to fire rockets at a Baghdad hotel on Friday, but a malfunction caused ordnance inside the bus to explode and set the vehicle ablaze, officials said.
Bwawawawa!
Apparently, the attackers used a timing device to launch the rockets and fled the minibus after setting it, a military source told CNN.
Bad timing, eh?

"Don't be silly, Hassim. This terrorism stuff ain't exactly rocket science, you know."

BOOM!
