Accidental Blast During Bomb-Making Class Kills 30 Taliban Fighters
Gabrielle Reyes 16 Feb 2021
At least 30 Taliban members died after an explosive device detonated during a bomb-making tutorial in Afghanistan’s northern Balkh province over the weekend, the Defense Post reported on Tuesday.
A group of Taliban jihadists gathered at a mosque in the village of Qultaq on February 13 to receive training on how to assemble bombs and improvised explosive devices (IED). An explosive device accidentally detonated, killing at least “30 Taliban fighters including six foreign nationals who were expert mine makers,†according to the Afghan Army’s 209th Shaheen Corps, which confirmed the deadly blast in a statement released Saturday. The bodies of the six Taliban-affiliated foreign nationals were rendered unidentifiable by the blast, according to the statement.
The Taliban has not commented on the incident. Such accidental explosions are fairly common in war-torn Afghanistan. A similar blast occurred at a mosque in Balkh’s Chahabar Bolak district in August.
“A group of eight Taliban IED experts were busy manufacturing a bomb inside a mosque in Sikandar Khel Village [when a] … premature explosion caused by [the] IED killed four Taliban militants and wounded at least four others,†Afghanistan’s Khaama Press reported at the time, citing a statement by Afghanistan’s Shaheen Corps.
“The explosion also destroyed a large cache of explosives and other materials which the group was using to manufacture IEDs,†according to the statement.

Taking out the teachers, good! Taking out leaders lowers the knowledge and experience of the terrorists; killing the technical experts - in this case, self-inflicted - lowers the terrorists technical expertise.

About 30 Taliban Die in Bombmaking Accident, Afghan Government Says
18 Feb 2021
Stars and Stripes | By J.P. Lawrence
KABUL, Afghanistan -- About 30 Taliban militants were killed when they detonated a bomb they were learning how to assemble, the Afghan Defense Ministry said.
The blast occurred last week at a bombmaking course in Afghanistan's northern Balkh province, the statement said.
Six foreign fighters were among the militants who died in the incident, the Afghan military said. While the foreigners were not identified, militants from abroad -- some affiliated with al-Qaida -- have trained Taliban fighters to make bombs during the last two decades of war in Afghanistan.

And this is exactly why there are no remedial bombmaking classes....

I think the Talliban instructor had a PHd like Jill Biden and he like to be called "Doctor"

I recall around 1970 when some bomb throwers' house blew up in New York (?) and wiped the lot of them out. Funny.
-
Hope it took out the mosque also.
