In Helmand Province, militants planting a roadside bomb detonated the device prematurely, killing 10 Taliban, said police chief Mohammad Hussein Andiwal.

The fact one bomb killed so many men appears to reflect the increased size of bombs Taliban fighters have been using in recent months. The bigger bombs — long used in Iraq but a fairly new phenomenon in Afghanistan — are shredding through heavily armored U.S. and NATO vehicles and killing multiple soldiers in one attack

Oh dear. Someone must have dialled the wrong number on their mobile phone.

Darwin's law of survival of the fittest at work. Less terrorist genes in their pool now.

Well, to be fair, I guess they haven't used a phone before. Local access must be bad.

I prefer the Peter Principle, which states that everyone rises to their own level of incompetence.

We all got taught that sometime as kids, I'd rather have a mobile.

I don't know how to feel about the story, ten people died but I won't be mourning their deaths and better them than the civilians who would've undoubtedly died instead.

Well, in any sort of millitant operation predicated on suicide bombing and whatnot, your "stellar performers" are going to go pretty fast. They've gotta be down to at least the junior varsity terrorists, by now.

Let's face it, by this time, the Taliban is entering the Wile E. Coyote phase of their jihad.

That's the phase that worries me the most.

Maybe they'll start suicide bombing their own hideouts in mass confusion.

Maybe, they start a total training where they practice blowing themselves up.

Well practice makes perfect right? They can never be too prepared.
