Must have been semtext
Oh god. That's so bad, it's good. :D

I'm not one to normally celebrate the demise of a human being, but if someone who had the intention of killing hundreds of innocents gets blown up by her own stupidity, it just goes to show that the universe occasionally does have a sense of humor.
 
Islamist terrorists in Russia often use mobile phones as detonators. The bomber's handler, who is usually watching their charge, sends the bomber a text message in order to set off his or her explosive belt at the moment when it is thought they can inflict maximum casualties.

blaaargh that must be making you shit your pants, if I was an idiot, I'd at least want to know exactly when I was going to die. The minutes before the entrance to paradise must be excruciating.
 
The dead woman has not been identified, but her husband is apparently serving time in jail for being a member of a radical Islamist terror group.
Sooo... she hasn't been identified, but we know who her husband is?
Okaaaay...
 
Don't understand this at all. In russia when you buy a sim card, you can get one of the two variants. Ad induced, where the provider sends a lot of ads as txt message and the second is with much fewer ads. The second variant, that I also have, is still prone to getting constant messages from the provider.

"Your current balance is at 9.81 $"
"Install these free MMS settings right now on your mobile phone"
"Beeline welcomes you in southern russia!"
"For more subscribtion help call 9991"
"Learn about entertainment features of Beeline on number 466"

What I mean to say is that operators are unreliable in such events as suicide bombing by SMS, because they send SMS-messages in continual rates.

If it indeed, was a russian provider, They must've been very stupid folk to use it to their advantage, knowing that one provider sent message will blow them up. It's like a russian roulette against time.

Oh my! Those poor families of the suicide bombers. Why doesn't anybody ever think of them?

Being related to a suicide bomber makes you worthless by proxy.

"Hey, this is your phone neighbor wishing you a happy new year! ^_^"

Made more hilarious if by a curious russian gaffer after reading that phone neighbor thread.

Black widows are wives of people who where abducted or murdered.

I, too, deeply sympathize with their desire to kill hundreds of people completely unrelated to their husbands' abduction or murder.

Really? I don't sympathize with em though.
 
Considering how many messages I get from my operator monthly I don't see how this doesn't occur more often. In fact, since these are probably new phones set up specifically to be the remote, they should be getting a lot of "Your free month is now over!" and "Did you know you can call *333 to access your voice mail box?".

AND he's a baseball fan!

True, but I'm also a film snob. Even if it had been from Major League I probably wouldn't have recognized it. I actually don't like a single baseball movie, in fact the only sports movies I'd consider watchable are Chariots of Fire, Raging Bull (if that even counts), and The Damned United. Hopefully I can soon add Moneyball to that list....
