There is a comedy about jihad terror called “Four Lions”. The auteur is a Englishman named Chris Morris. He is in the middle of a publicity blitz . These interviews are very good for background noise while editing pictures from ” The Special Collections and Archives,Georgia State University Library” . Some of these images illustrate tonight’s entertainment.
At the end of the WFMU podcast, Mr. Morris comments about learning to love the idiot. The would be jihad cell in “Four Lions” is not very bright. They buy lots of bomb making supplies from the same store, only the man uses a different voice every time he goes in. This is supposed to help.
There is another story about a group of would be bombers who went to Pakistan to learn how to make bombs, and then forgot what they learned. They called their headquarters from London, and asked for a refresher course in bomb making. Or the Canadien terrorists who were going to kill the Prime Minister, but did not know who he was.
There is a story at the 13:00 mark of the dangerousminds interview. The story is possibly not true, but is fun to tell. A terrorist tries to blow up a saudi prince. He sneaks the explosive into the meeting by making it into a suppository. He miscalculated the explosion dynamics. When he hit the detonate button, he shot himself ten feet into the air.
This fits in in with recent tales of the underwear bomber, and other terror klutzes. It makes one wonder how a complicated scheme like 911 was ever pulled off.
