Iraqi militants accidentally set off car bomb at their own training camp
Seems the other day an al-Qaida breakaway group decided to set up a new car bomb making plant in an orchard north of Baghdad.  Naturally they filled it chock full of explosives and then sent out word for would-be car bombers to come and visit because one of their talented bomb-making instructors would be there to give the would-be recruits valuable lessons on how to go about putting car bombs together.  Must have been a festive occasion, eh?  Well, somehow something went wrong and the instructor accidentally set off a shit-load of explosives in his demonstration Monday.  BOOM!

Twenty-one of the hopeful bomb makers were killed and about two dozen others were arrested, including wounded insurgents trying to hobble away from the scene.  Let's see, each martyr is supposed to be met by seventy-two virgins upon his arrival in heaven, so 72 x 21 is ... well, that's an awful LOT of virgins, don't you think?  They probably had to send out a call for extra ones I suppose.  ;-}
