15 insurgents killed by their own bombs in Afghan mosque

Kabul - Eight Arab, five Pakistani and two Afghan militants were killed when bombs they were making exploded prematurely inside a mosque in eastern Afghanistan, the Interior Ministry said Sunday.
The insurgents were assembling bombs in Desi Mosque of Yousifkhela district in the south-eastern province of Paktika on Friday, the ministry said.

Pakika borders the Pakistani town of Wana, where Taliban militants are said to have training bases. Afghan officials have repeatedly blamed Islamabad for not doing enough to clamp down on cross-border infiltration by insurgents.

In the northern province of Kunduz, several Taliban fighters including a foreign insurgent commander were killed Saturday by a NATO airstrike in Chardarah district, NATO said on Sunday.

'After verifying insurgent activity and conducting careful planning to avoid civilian casualties and mitigate collateral damage, coalition aircraft were called in for the precision airstrike,' it said. The targeted commander coordinated logistical support and operations 'with the Taliban's Pakistan foreign fighter cell leadership,' it said.

NATO also confirmed the death of one of its soldiers in a roadside explosion in southern Afghanistan on Saturday. The alliance had already reported the deaths of five more troops killed in separate attacks in the country on Saturday.

Saturday's deaths brought the total of foreign soldiers killed in the war this year to 309, compared with the 157 deaths registered between January and June of 2009, according to iCasualties.org

8 Arabs, eh?  I wonder, does the TB want those foreigners off of their land as well?  Also, where is Amir Attaran, jumping up and down for these people who were using a religious place for works of war, against international law.  Yes, a war crime!

Anyway, happy ending to this one!!!!

15 less bad guys to worry about, but sadly for each one, another 100 will pop up to replace them.

Were they not going to use those bombs to blow themselves up in some congested area?
I'm wondering.......is that what is called  "collateral damage" ?

KABUL, Jul. 6, 2010 (Xinhua News Agency) -- Three Taliban militants were killed as their mine exploded prematurely in Afghanistan's northern Kunduz province, the Afghan Interior Ministry said in a press released on Tuesday.
"A group of militants were busy in planting a mine on the road in Nahr-e-Sufi village, Chardara district Monday afternoon when the device went off prematurely killing three on the spot," the press release added.
