re: #68 freetoken

When I see something like that I never know what to think. How could anyone (the local bomber-wanna-be in this case) think that by carrying a small, ineffective explosive device he is going to take on a platoon of trained soldiers with multiple weapons at their disposal?

I suspect that He had a fairly deadly bomb strapped to him that only partially exploded. Looks like only the detonator went off. He was probably waiting to be arrested before blowing himself up when the soldiers came closer. After he got shot he figured the gig was up and teir to detonate. The dud explosion wasn’t even enough to kill himself much less anyone else.
