A suicide bomber in the Malian rebel bastion of Kidal, was killed instantly when he accidentally detonated his explosives belt without killing or wounding anyone else.
According to news.com.au , the incident occurred on Sunday.
An official in the Kidal governor's office said, "The bomber was wearing his belt. He did something wrong, the belt exploded, and he was killed on the spot, before he could go on to commit a terrorist attack in the city".
"There was a big explosion that blew up part of the building the bomber was in."
An African military source said the explosion went off in a disused warehouse of the UN World Food Programme near the Kidal governor's official residence, currently occupied by Tuareg separatist rebels.
"I believe that the bomber came from outside the city. He came discreetly," he said, without elaborating.
