Two would-be suicide bombers have died in Pakistan after an explosive device detonated as they fought each other, it has been reported.
The two men were killed in an explosion near Khayam Chowk in Sargodha, in the country’s Punjab province. Eyewitnesses claim the men, who were believed to have been wearing suicide vests, were sitting on a bench engaged in discussion before their deaths.
It is thought the two men began to fight and an improvised explosive device was triggered.
Following the blast, emergency services were called to the scene and the area was cordoned off.
Sargodha Saqib Manan from the Sargodha district police office suggested divine intervention may have saved the city from a big loss, according to ARY News.
The men’s bodies were taken to Sargodha’s District Headquarters Hospital and their homes in Sargodha and Kushab were raided,Breaking News Pakistan reported. Several suspects were arrested.

two sets of suicide vests were detonated and they were still able to find bodies to take to the hospital…?
makes you wonder about how effective they might have been as suicide bombers.

hahhaa that’s way better than the Bunto/Haroon joke!!!
on a sort of related note…
a muslim colleague of mine dropped by my desk to say hello…she travels and works from home a lot so we rarely get to see her. my neighbour was surprised to see her and commented that she’s never around and is she now back from maternity leave? he went on to comment, “You had a baby boy, right?”
she smiled and said, “The boy is 3.5 now and I’ve been back from having my little girl for 17 months now.”
he goes, “Oh my god!! You’ve had another??!!”
I couldn’t contain myself and said, “Yes, we are muslim. We are all trying to have as many children as possible because our numbers are declining as so many of us keep strapping on vests and blowing ourselves up.”
thankfully we are able to have this sort of exchange in our office without getting in trouble…
