Mullah accidently blows up self, sons

A LANDMINE blew up in the home of a religious cleric in southern Afghanistan, killing the mullah, two of his sons and two other men who had been preparing an attack, police said today.

The cleric's wife was critically wounded in the blast in their compound in the southern province of Helmand late yesterday, and a daughter was hurt, provincial police chief General Mohammad Hussein Andiwal said.

The bodies of the mullah and his two sons, both under 15 years old, remained at the site of the blast, he said.

Other people in the compound said two other men were killed but their bodies had been removed before police arrived, he said.

The group was likely associated with the Taliban, he said. The extremist militants are particular active in Helmand province, where they are said to be tied up with opium and heroin traffickers.

An insurgency by the Taliban, who were in government between 1996 and 2001, was its deadliest last year with more than 6,000 people killed, most of them rebels but including hundreds of civilians.

Taliban suicide and roadside bombings are generally aimed at Afghan and international soldiers but kill more civilians.

I hear the quality of those training videos is really suffering these days.

I feel sorry for the kids, but sometimes you choose the wrong Daddy.

At 15, most muslims are beginning their terrorist activities, so I suspect innocent lives have been saved here.

I feel horrible for the family, but they were all probably so ingrained into his beliefs, it probably just saved us a lot of trouble down the road...

I did too... at first... but than I though, this bastard is building bombs in the home of his family?     He's knowingly turning his families home into a legitimate military target.  He's willfully, housing his family in proximity of bombs meant to terrorize...

Yeah, I feel bad when anyone gets harmed... but...

Yeah, I got the same perspective on this story. A Splodey Dope accidentally blows up his own family, but they might have had some more Johnny Jihads as well.
