I know it’s not seemly to crow over the deaths of my fellow creatures of the Eternal One, but in this situation it is more the case that justice seems to have been well and truly served. According to a link on the Religion of Peace site that leads to the Afgan Khaama Press Agency, it appears three Taliban terrorists have blown themselves whilst planting a bomb. This bomb, like many other Taliban IED’s was aimed at Afghan troops and government employees but would probably have taken many civilian lives either instead of or as well as their intended targets.

Khaama Press said:

At least three Taliban militants were killed in an explosion triggered by own Improvised Explosive Device in southern Zabul province of Afghanistan.

The Ministry of Interior (MoI) in a statement said the incident took place on Saturday in Jaldak district of the province.

The statement further added that three Taliban militants were busy planting an improvised explosive device on a roadside when the incident took place, leaving three of them dead.

The anti-government armed militant groups including Taliban militants have not commented regarding the incident so far.

The Taliban militants and other militants including ISIS often use improvised explosive device as the weapon of their choice to target the security forces and government officials.

However, in majority of such attacks the ordinary civilians are killed while in some cases the Taliban militants are themselves blown up in premature explosions.

It would have been preferable, from a humanitarian point of view, if the Taliban had decided to follow the path of civilisation rather than savagery, but the world can at least console itself that today there are three less Taliban savages able to kill and maim for their warped belief system. Although three Islamic terrorists have lost their lives, their deaths at their own hands may have saved hundreds of other innocent Afghans.
