Premature detonations kill 7 Taliban insurgents in southern Afghanistan

[News_Editor]

KANDAHAR, AFGHANISTAN (BNO NEWS) -- Seven suspected Taliban insurgents were killed in southern Afghanistan late on Friday when their own explosives detonated prematurely, officials said on Saturday. It is believed the militants were attempting to target Afghan security forces.

The insurgents were killed on Friday evening in two separate incidents in Kandahar province, which is located in Afghanistan's volatile southern region that was the birthplace of the Taliban movement two decades ago. There were no casualties among civilians or security forces in either incident.

The first explosion happened on a road in the Haday Ghra area of Arghistaan district when a group of Taliban-affiliated insurgents was attempting to plant improvised explosive devices (IEDs) to target Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) in the area, according to a provincial spokesman, who said six of the insurgents were killed.

The second incident happened on a road near a school in the Girandi area of Panjwayi district. "The mentioned insurgent was trying to plant an IED to harm Afghan National Security Forces but it resulted in his own death by his own IED explosion," the spokesman said on Saturday.

In a third incident on Friday evening, two children were killed and four female relatives were injured when Taliban insurgents fired a mortar at Afghan security forces in the Maiwand district of Kandahar province. It happened when security forces were pursuing insurgents in the region, during which the soldiers came under fire.

"The wounded civilians have been evacuated to hospital for health recoveries by ANSF and investigations are still continuing to find out the manufacturing country of the mortar which was fired by the Taliban," the provincial spokesman said. "Based on previous investigations after such incidents, findings say that many mortars fired by the Taliban are land-to-land which were supplied by neighboring countries to the Taliban fighting in Afghanistan."

Sad day in hell. Enjoy the 72 virgins. There ain't no 73rd. alt=biggrin.png>

Allah must providing a lot of virgins, ...a regular virgin factory. 504 just for those 7 martyrs who just died, and each must be doe-eyed, beautiful, and sexually submissive. And each time a virgin is deflowered, is she assigned to the back room to make cous cous, ...never to be a sexual tool again? And what about gay martyrs? Oh, sorry, Iran's sage Imans assure us there are no gay men in Muslim lands. ....so many questions.

Just a thought; if the bombs those idiots are making are detonated by a tiny spark from a cell phone, why not have cell-phone-like sparks going off periodically, in hot spots like Taliban-infested places? Perhaps that's what happened to the 7 luckless martyrs in the OP.

Well, perhaps we could say they're virgins to decency.

Normally the emphasis is on interrupting the signal to any IED rather than triggering it as that could have major consequences. See below for a presentation on one form of IED jamming:
