An unexpected and unwanted text message from a wireless company prematurely exploded a would-be suicide bomber’s vest bomb in Russia New Year’s Eve, inadvertently thwarting a planned attack on revelers in Moscow, according to The Daily Telegraph.
The would-be suicide bomber was planning to detonate a suicide belt bomb near Red Square, a plan that was foiled when her wireless carrier sent her an SMS while she was still at a safe house, setting off the bomb and killing her. The message reportedly wished her a Happy New Years, according to the report, which sourced the info from security forces in Russia. Cell phones are often used as makeshift detonators by terrorist and insurgent groups. |

Happy New Years indeed. I would love to see the look on the targets' faces when they learned about this.

Finally, a cellphone company you can trust. If I was their execs, that'd be the new campaign right there.

Trust? I'm sorry, but if my phone service is inadvertently setting my bombs off before I want them to explode, they're gonna lose my business!

Premature detonation? Lives saved? Ironic Happy New Year's/best wishes? This is so good.
