Bomber forgets to tune timers, hurt

Dublin: According to a report in  the UK daily The Independent, Irish cops believe that a bomber allegedly blew himself up after he forgot about the clocks changing while he was planting a bomb.

Police are looking to speak with a man who is suspected of planting the bomb in Dublin on Sunday and was left severely injured when the device detonated prematurely, the report said.

The device had been attached to a Volvo SUV.

The man was seen fleeing the scene in Dublin with blood on his face before climbing into a taxi, The Mirror said in its report.

According to the paper, a source said that one of the theories being considered by police was that he did not change the time on his watch on Sunday and the timer went off too soon.

Garda police are now appealing for anyone who may have picked up the suspect to contact them.
