As more details emerge about what happened yesterday, it's becoming clear that these men really did want to martyr themselves or die trying. In the light of this, I suggest the definition of "terrorette" be extended to include actual terrorists who are too inept to know how their own explosives work.

This is like ... the religious version of the Darwin Awards. Except the Darwin Awards operate on the principle of "survival of the fittest"; and this operates on the principle of "survival of the least plausible".

All the police have to do is go to the explosives shop and check out the 'customer returns' counter.

Is it therefore possible to have "Terrorette's Syndrome", with an impulse to blow oneself up in public places, and swear loudly when your device fails to explode?
