Suicide Bombers Get In Fight, Kill Only Themselves

06.10.2015 | News | Alicia Powe |

The suicide vests of two alleged terrorist bombers blew up when the pair started fighting, killing them and no one else.

The two men, identified by police as Ghulam Rasul and Muhammad Sultan, were having a conversation on a park bench in Sargodha, Pakistan that suddenly escalated into a verbal argument and then a physical fight.

An explosive carried by one of the two men detonated during the fight, killing them both.

Authorities are unable to verify if the explosion was accidental or intentional on the part of one of the men and accounts on the exact nature of the explosion vary. It is unclear if one of the men was carrying an improvised explosive that detonated or one or both of the suicide vests worn by the men blew up.

Fortunately, no one else was hurt, which can only be attributed to the timing of the incident because police say the men were very close to a crowded area where casualties could have been far higher.

Police investigated the mens’ homes, following the explosions, and arrested suspected collaborators as well.

Terrorists have managed to kill themselves by accident in the past. A terrorist trainer in northern Iraq last year accidentally killed his class while giving a demonstration with explosives.

Palestinian car bombers killed themselves when confusion over Daylight Savings Time caused their bombs to detonate an hour early back in 1999.
