'Cigarette bomb' injures ex-rebel
2007-06-22
A former Kashmiri rebel was wounded when a tiny detonator planted in a cigarette by suspected militants exploded when he lit it up in a police station, according to a newspaper report on Thursday. The small blast, the first of its kind in the revolt-torn Himalayan region, took place in a remote village of Doda district where former rebel Mohammad Rafiq had surrendered to police, the Daily Excelsior said.
Indians taking lessons from the Israelis?
“The small detonator, planted inside the cigarette, exploded when Rafiq was smoking, causing him minor injuries. He has been hospitalised,” the newspaper quoted a senior police officer as saying. He said police were investigating how a cigarette with a detonator hidden inside reached Rafiq in the police station.

#13  Is this part of the "military equipment" imported from China? Hey, they're trying to kill us with bird flu, bad fish, and tainted grain. Who knows what other kind of stupidity they might try.
