I read
this article and all I could think of was this video from Jeff Dunham. Skip to about the 6:40 mark on the video.

Militants accidentally set off their own car bomb Monday at a training camp in the countryside north of Baghdad, leaving 21 dead and resulting in two dozen arrests, Iraqi officials said.
Car bombs are one of the deadliest weapons used by the al-Qaeda breakaway group that dominates the Sunni insurgency in Iraq, with co-ordinated waves of explosions regularly leaving scores dead in Baghdad and elsewhere across the country.
The bombs are sometimes assembled in farm compounds where militants can gather without being spotted, or in car workshops in industrial areas. Police say the camp outside Samarra, a Sunni city 95 kilometres north of Baghdad, was in an orchard in the village of al-Jalam.
A police officer said the militants were attending a lesson on making car bombs and explosive belts when a glitch set off one of the devices.
The officer said security forces rushed to the area after hearing the sound of the explosion. They arrested 12 wounded suspected militants plus another 10 trying to flee the area.
Security forces found seven car bombs, several explosive belts and roadside bombs after searching two houses and a garage in the orchard, he said.
