Killed through a bomb, couldnt have happened to better people

Now we know that the Taliban are a bunch of morons, so why are we surprised? Truly, it couldnt have happened to a better bunch of people. Should do more of this.

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AFP) - A pro-Taliban militant was killed and two
others wounded in a botched attempt to blow up the office of a women's rights
group in troubled northwest Pakistan, police said.
The militants had been trying to plant a bomb at the Khawando Kor (Sisters' Home) in Karak town, about 100 kilometres (60 miles) south of provincial capital Peshawar late Sunday, local police officer Hajit Khan said.

The bomb exploded prematurely and one militant was killed, Khan said,
adding that two injured accomplices had been arrested. The office was not
damaged.
The trio had taken part in the "holy war" against the Soviets in
neighbouring Afghanistan in the 1980s and were now supporting the hardline
Taliban waging an insurgency there, he said.

The group, which has several offices across North West Frontier
Province, has been promoting education and increased rights for women in the
area.
Islamic militancy and support for style-Taliban law has been spilling
over from the nearby tribal areas into the province.
At least two girls' schools were destroyed last week in bomb blasts in the tribal region where militants consider female education un-Islamic.



All this to be taken with a grain of piquant salt!!!
