A man whom the U.S. described as a key figure in Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula accidentally blew himself up, U.S. military officials told Fox News.
The officials say Nayif Al-Qahtani was "messing with a bomb" when it went off. U.S. officials had been watching him, but Fox News' sources insist the U.S. had nothing to do with his death.
Al-Qahtani was "a vibrant guy linked to ongoing operations planning, and his death will have an impact," one official told Fox News.
An Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula newsletter was the first to announce his death a week after the United States put terror sanctions on him. The newsletter did not say when it happened but said Al-Qahtani died in Yemen's Abyan province in the south of the country.
The State Department recently described al-Qahtani as "a liaison between Al Qaeda cells in Yemen and Saudi Arabia." It said he manages Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula's operations in Yemen and receives financial support from abroad to launch attacks in both Yemen and Saudi Arabia.
Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula is recognized for its connection to the failed 2009 Christmas Day airline attack in Detroit. Since then, Yemen's government has increased airstrikes on the group's members within its own country using intelligence support from the United States.

Counter-Terrorists win

Was the idiot trying to practice?
:downs:
This thread read "Terrorist accidentally blows self" from the front page.
"Fox News' sources insist the U.S. had nothing to do with his death."
Hmmmm..... something is odd about that sentence.
I thought blowing themselves up is the whole point.
What does "messing with a bomb" mean? He was just sitting there prodding it with a knife? Pushing it down the street with a stick?

to be fair, handing a rpg rocket to someone else isn't a really dumb idea

He must've done it too early.

they're supposed to blow themselves up when close to their target
I guess he had a pre mature detonation.
lol
Well they think they are Martas (Dieing for a noble cause) i think it's stupid. they should just write a angry letter.
We'll always remember him as "that vibrant terrorist"
In the next couple of years we are all falling into a deep pit of doom. It's inevitable.
I suppose you could say...
That he had a [B][I]blast[/I][/B].
Not really news, they blow themselves up all the time.
-snip-
Well that is no big surprise
Ended his life with a bang.
He blew it, big time.

No virgins for him.
