    Not so smart bomb

    A suicide bomber's plan to detonate explosives in Central Moscow on New Year's Eve was foiled when she received an unexpected text message that caused her deadly payload to blow up too early, according to news reports.

    The message wishing her a happy new year came hours before the unnamed woman was to set off her suicide belt near Red Square, an act of terrorism that could have killed hundreds of people, The Leader-Post reported. She ended up dying at a safe house instead.

    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

        This claim is from people who are known to lie a lot.

          If the silly bitch had been devout and made it clear to friends she only celebrated the Islamic New Year, she'd have been fine!

                Why would a suicide bomber use remote detonation? Doesn't make any sense.

                  That's what I thought, but then I thought, sod it, it's a great story.

                    Maybe it's the 'handlers' way of ensuring the carrier doesn't get 'cold feet'?
