While monitoring a GBOS feed (Big Camera on a stick) we saw a rather suspicious looking afghan walking into a crowded bazaar by a large bank. Quickly running up the steps the individual started screaming incoherently at people and then detonated a Suicide bomb that he had wrapped around his head and had hidden by wrapping an absurdly large turban around the bomb.

After the smoke from the detonation cleared we were shocked to see that nobody was seriously injured with only 2-3 minor injuries sustained by nearby civilians. The suicide bomber on the other hand......Apparently the Turban had acted as a kind of shield and had turned his Suicide bomb into a shaped charge that instead of exploding outwards, had instead exploded downwards and liquified the majority of his torso......
