A WOULD-be suicide bomber fell down a flight of stairs and blew himself up as he headed out for an attack in Afghanistan, police say.

It was the second such incident in two days, with another man killing himself and three others on Tuesday when his bomb-filled waistcoat exploded as he was putting it on in the southern town of Lashkar Gah.

Yesterday's blast was in a busy market area of the eastern town of Khost, a deputy provincial police chief said.

The would-be attacker tripped as he was leaving a building apparently to target an opening ceremony for a mosque that was expected to be attended by Afghan and international military officials, said Sakhi Mir.

"Coming down the stairs, he fell down and exploded. Two civilian women and a man were wounded,'' Mir said.

Suicide attacks are regular feature of an insurgency led by the extremist Taliban movement that was in government between 1996 and 2001. The most deadly was in November 2007 and killed nearly 80 people, most of them school students.

Why would the guy want to target an opening ceremony for a mosque anyway.
Seems a strange thing to want to kill yourself for.

Oh well, it's good news if they blow themselves up early by accident and don't hurt others in the process. With any luck, a lot of lives were saved by his early detonation.

Sherri there are two main Muslim party's in Iraq, the Sunni and the sh*te. They are the ones who are blowing up each others mosques and killing fellow Muslims with their suicide bombs.
The best thing that could happen to that country is for Iran to give them a nuclear bomb so they could wipe their country and themselves off the face of the earth.

The police also noted that he had taken his false teeth out before leaving and are now surmising he was going to blow up a bus
