BAGHDAD — A group of Sunni militants attending a suicide bombing training class at a camp north of Baghdad were killed on Monday when their commander unwittingly conducted a demonstration with a belt that was packed with explosives, army and police officials said.
The militants belonged to a group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, which is fighting the Shiite-dominated army of the Iraqi government, mostly in Anbar Province. But they are also linked to bomb attacks elsewhere and other fighting that has thrown Iraq deeper into sectarian violence.
Twenty-two ISIS members were killed, and 15 were wounded, in the explosion at the camp, which is in a farming area in the northeastern province of Samara, according to the police and army officials. Stores of other explosive devices and heavy weapons were also kept there, the officials said.
Eight militants were arrested when they tried to escape, the officials said.
The militant who was conducting the training was not identified by name, but he was described by an Iraqi Army officer as a prolific recruiter who was “able to kill the bad guys for once.”
ISIS militants drove into Falluja and the nearby city of Ramadi, both in Anbar Province, earlier this year with heavy weaponry, taking control of key intersections and offices of local authorities.
Local security forces and tribes have since re-established control in Ramadi.
But Iraq is developing a plan, with help from the United States, that would have Sunni tribes take the lead in ending the standoff with ISIS in Falluja, with the Iraqi Army in support, a senior State Department official told Congress last week.
The official, Brett McGurk, said that ISIS had about 2,000 fighters in Iraq, and that its longer-term objective is to establish a base of operations in Baghdad, led by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who has been officially designated as a global terrorist by the State Department.
In other violence in Iraq, a roadside bomb detonated in the northern city of Mosul alongside the convoy of the speaker of Parliament, the Sunni leader Osama al-Nujaifi, security officials said. Six of his guards were wounded, but Mr. Nujaifi was unharmed, they said.
In Baghdad, a doctor was found dead with bullet wounds in his head and chest two days after he was kidnapped from his house, medical officials said.
In the Baya district of southwestern Baghdad, a bomb left near a cafe killed four people and wounded 11, according to a police official.
So...a bunch of prospective suicide bombers died prematurely before they could cause harm to others? Good. First person upset about this the biggest slap across the face that the Internet can manage.
Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

I was thinking of Achmed:
[NSFW: Language]
[Jeff Dunham]
So look, as a suicide-bomber have you had a training ?
[Achmed]
Of course we have the suicide-bomber training camp.
[Jeff Dunham]
Ah ! Is there a nice facility ?
[Achmed]
It used to be…
[Jeff Dunham]
What happened ?
[Achmed]
New guy… the idiot kinda practiced !
[Jeff Dunham]
What do you guys learned from that ?
[Achmed]
Location, location, location.
[Jeff Dunham]
Do you guys have any kind of model ?
[Achmed]
Like what ?
[Jeff Dunham]
You know, are you looking for a few good men ?
[Achmed]
We’re looking for some idiots with no future.
[Jeff Dunham]
So where do you hit your recruits?
[Achmed]
The suicide hot-line. (Laughs) That was dark, was it not ?
[Jeff Dunham]
So what exactly happened to you ?
[Achmed]
Huh ?
J : What happened ?
[Achmed]
Oh… If you must know, I am an horrible suicide-bomber.
[Jeff Dunham]
What happened ?
[Achmed]
I had a premature detonation. I set the timer for forty minutes and all went off in four seconds. You know what that’s like, right ? Mister Hurricane !
But your answer is also acceptable

This is like, probably the only time I've found a form of well, enjoyment from people dying.
Eh.

So does this mean the class still gets the virgins and all that, and the instructor goes to hell? Or do they all go to hell or? Someone with more knowledge of the religion than I may be able to answer this...
Edit for clarification: Since the ultimate goal of a suicide bomber is to kill himself as a martyr, and the promise of virgins in heaven etc etc or whatever they brainwash these people into thinking.
