    Suicide Bomber Instructor Blows Up Suicide Bombers-In-Training


    Dylan Scott – February 10, 2014, 12:26 PM EST257

    The commander of an Iraqi militant group accidentally killed 22 members of his unit Monday who were training to become suicide bombers after he conducted a demonstration with live explosives, the New York Times reported.

    The Sunni militants belonged to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, also known as ISIS, according the Times. They have been engaged in fighting with the Iraqi government army and conducted suicide bombings throughout the country.

    Another 15 members of the group were injured. An Iraqi army official described the commander as a "prolific recruiter," adding that he was "able to kill the bad guys for once" in Monday's accident.

    I think it is more about fit and fashion than actual process. :D

    Masterminds are another word that comes up all the time.
    You keep hearing about these terrorists masterminds that get killed in the middle east.
    Terrorists masterminds.
    Mastermind is sort of a lofty way to describe what these guys do, don't you think?
    They're not masterminds.
    "OK, you take bomb, right? And you put in your backpack. And you get on bus and you blow yourself up. Alright?"
    "Why do I have to blow myself up? Why can't I just:"
    "Who's the fucking mastermind here? Me or you?"
