Ethiopia: Suicide Bombers Blow Themselves Up In Failed Attack On Sporting Event

10/15/2013 Leave a comment Go to comments

By Christopher Atkins, Bleacher Report – “Two Somali suicide bombers blew themselves up accidentally in a failed attack on the weekend’s World Cup qualifier between Ethiopia and Nigeria in Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian government has revealed.

According to Reuters’ Aaron Maasho, via the Calgary Sun, the incident occurred in the Bole district of the city around 5km from the stadium where Sunday’s match was to be played.

The detonation took place at a residential property about one hour before the match was due to kick off, with three suspects detained at the scene. The area is home to a small Somali refugee population.

Per the Calgary Sun’s report, government spokesman Shimeles Kemal said:

They were Somali nationals and plotted to carry out a suicide attack disguised as fans on either the stadium or areas where large crowds gathered to watch the game.

Heavy police presence must have caused their nervousness and state of agitation which led to the detonation that caused their own death.

The report suggests that football shirts, explosives, grenades and firearms were discovered at the scene.

While there has been no claim of responsibility thus far, Somali Al-Shabaab rebels have promised to exact revenge on Ethiopia for sending troops into Somalia to fight Al-Qaeda militants, the Calgary Sun reports.

Just last month, following an Al-Shabaab siege on a shopping mall in Kenya, Ethiopia’s opposition group Medrek warned that the country could face ‘large-scale attacks’ from Somali rebels, per the Sudan Tribune.

It is not the first time that a sports event has been a target for terrorists, with this year’s Boston Marathon and the Munich Olympic Games two notable past instances of sports being at the centre of such an incident.” Read more.

Flashback: Ethiopia And Sudan In Bible Prophecy – “Open up nearly any English translation of the Bible and you will find numerous references to ‘Ethiopia.’ Many of these references place Ethiopia in a negative light. In the book of the prophet Ezekiel, for example, we find a prophetic oracle against Ethiopia, Egypt, Arabia, Libya and Turkey (Lud)… Is Ethiopia thus destined to be decimated by God? Far from it.” Read more.

    It’s obvious these Muslims prey on the weak and uneducated peoples of the world as this incident is proof! How many times have we heard of this? This happens time & time again, these people blow themselves up before they ever make it to their destination. Perhaps they really don’t want to kill innocent people? We know that the suicide bombers are often Christians that have been tortured to do so.

    It’s too bad they don’t take out more Muslims when they “accidentally” blow themselves up!

      I must say, you raise a good point. I’m sure there probably are some ‘suicide bombers’ who were hoodwinked into committing acts of terror against their will. But that’s not to say that there are lots of them like that. Most of them know exactly what they’re doing–it’s all about the “promise” of “eternal sexual gratification”. Yeah, they actually believe that lie!!! I just have to wonder how pleasurable it can all be while they’re burning in hell for all eternity!!!

        “… burning in hell for all eternity!!!…” although, we know this isn’t true. We have a merciful God! It states that they will burn in Hell’s fire, an “unquenchable” fire. Such as a fire that burns all the waste products that go into a garbage dump! It doesn’t mean that they will “…burn for an eternity!” An “eternity” is an “incorrect” modern-day interpretation of that passage.

          My friend, that’s fine if you choose to believe it that way–it won’t keep you out of God’s heaven for believing such things however I honestly thought that was true myself at one time. All I will say about that now is that I believe God has shown me otherwise. I now believe God’s Word pulls no punches about what hell is really like. I believe hell is a literal place of fire and brimstone, and that it lasts for all eternity–yes, I really do believe that! As to who it is that goes there, I won’t
          venture any guesses, but I know God’s beloved children do not go there. Please don’t make this an issue–I promise you I will not do so! Thank you and God bless!!!!
          And I promise you I don’t want any replies from anybody about this. I simply will not argue the point! I’m not judging anybody, I’m just saying that’s where I stand on the issue.
