The blast killed the would-be bomber and five men around him, a Defence spokesman said…’

  1. I don’t think so, Cad. I heard it from another source a few weeks ago but couldn’t verify it. It seemed odd that there was no mention of it elsewhere at the time so I filed it under “nice if true”.

  2. This type of efficiency is in line with present western military funding reductions.

  3. Beautiful, buy that fellow all the beers he can drink. Lord we need more like him down here.
