(Reuters) - Two Somali suicide bombers who had planned to kill football fans during Ethiopia's World Cup qualifying match against Nigeria on Sunday blew themselves up accidentally before carrying out the attack, the Ethiopian government said on Monday.
The explosion on Sunday happened in the upscale Bole district of the capital, about 5 km (3 miles) from Addis Ababa Stadium where thousands of fans were gathering for the match.
"They were Somali nationals and plotted to carry out a suicide attack disguised as fans on either the stadium or areas where large crowds gathered to watch the game," government spokesman Shimeles Kemal said.
Explosives, arms, hand grenades and football shirts were found at the scene of the blast, at a residential address an hour before kick-off, Shimeles said. Three suspects were detained. The Bole district has a small Somali refugee community.
"Heavy police presence must have caused their nervousness and state of agitation which led to the detonation that caused their own death," Shimeles said.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
Somalia's al Shabaab Islamist rebels have vowed to exact revenge on Ethiopia for sending troops to Somalia to fight the al Qaeda-linked militants, alongside African Union forces from Uganda, Burundi and Kenya. (Continue Reading.)

Takbir
when i hear of this good news..this song comes to mind! http://youtu.be/rY0WxgSXdEE
I can't, in good conscience, rejoice over the death of any human being. OK, maybe, just maybe in the case of a very naughty person who was judged in a court of law, found guilty beyond any doubt of very nasty crimes and sentenced to death as a consequence. All i'll say about this is that everyone got what they wanted: those two guys killed themselves in the name of their god and innocent people carried on living their lives.
Radical Moderate said, "Takbir,"
me: RUN!!!!
That's what Alluakbar really means now, doesn't it?
Well, as the Apusstle of Allahu Ohynksmorr was known to often say: "Many's the slip between the cup and the lip..." I mean, what's the point of being a part of a racist, fascist, supremacist death cult like Islam if there can't be some dying, right? So, at least they got correct the "blow yourselves to bits" part. Points for that.
However, MY point is that jihadis world-wide need to be more focused on PROFESSIONALISM. Yes, I know - there needs to be PLENTY of time for firing guns into the air and LOTS of "Allahu Ohynksmorr! Allahu Ohynksmorr!" and for BUKARI's sake, let's not forget the 5-times daily head banging. (Oh, let the Imam's read the un-holy Qur'an - I mean, who understands that hardly poetic, pseudo-prophetic BS anyway, right?)
So, Jihadis, PLEASE remember: there's a MISSION involved here. When you're "casting terror into the hearts of the kaffir", it does NO GOOD WHATEVER to announce your arrival from three miles away - *ESPECIALLY* if your announcement isn't followed up by some 'terror casting' in the kaffir's location! See what I mean? What's your back-up plan just in case you can't arrive in time (or in one piece) to make your special statement?
Is anybody gonna even notice your fervent obedience to the un-holy Qur'an if you're "bringing-it" to no one but yourself? I just don't think so. So don't be selfish and don't be shy. If you just *MUST* do a trial run, find some folks who can REALLY appreciate your devotion, like some fellow jihadis or even a hate-mongering Imam or two. And then, after you've carefully constructed your "plan B", remember to be 'Professional' (when you approach your fellow Ummahtic slave) saying, "Hey, Abdullah, I want to show you an idea that I have for 'casting some terror'". Then say "SURPRISE!" and let 'er rip.
I just know Abdullah is gonna be impressed. Then you can let someone ELSE worry about plan B. 'Cuz you & Abdullah are gonna have LOTS of time to think about the terror. And the fun will just never stop....
ALLAHU OHYNKSMORR!
ALLAHU OHYNKSMORR!

hmmmhmmmmmmmmmmmmhhhhm

@ mohamoud
Allauakbar, while chanted by Muslim inside the mosques, means god is great(er)
Outside the mosques, say in Times Square or large gathering of non Muslims, is preceded by a very large explosion hence in public it means RUN.
Don't like what I have to say? Tough. I call it as I see it. Facts are facts and I have a right to call it as it is.
That some Muslim/jihadist would even attempt to be suicide and homocide bombers shows the great amount of harm that is done in the mosques and madrassas by the imams and mullahs who throughly brainwash the people into believing in the Islamic doctrine from the Quran of some kind of lust filled paradise with many virgins in it for the jihadist who dies as a "martyr" for the cause of Islam. The actual origin if this Islamic doctrine was not from a divine source but it was lifted or taken from Arabian and Zoroastrian mythology then fused together and then inserted into the Quran and other written works of Islam by wicked and deceptive men. Now this doctrine/myth is now part of the whole hoax of Islam. Furthermore, the Bible had predicted such false teachers as these imams and mullahs who indoctriate this type of myth/doctrine into the hearts and minds of others. For the Bible reads "For the time will come when they will not stand wholesome teaching, but will follow their own fancy and gather a crowd of teachers to tickle their ears. They will stop their ears to the truth and turn to mythology."
Second Timothy 4:3,4. [NEB]
