A sniper shot a Taliban guy and detonated his explosive vest, blowing up the other Taliban guys.
I wonder if the others had reckoned on meeting their 72 virgins so soon?

Pfff, what to you expect when you're walking around Afghanistan with a belt of explosives strapped to you? In my opinion, he brought this on himself.
